Entrepreneur in Residence | Ex APM | Gen AI | Strategy Consultant | IIFT’24 | Economics, Trade and Finance

About

I'm an Associate Product Manager and Chief of Staff at DevKraft Technologies, working directly with the CEO across product, growth, sales, and partnerships. My day-to-day spans a mix of building and operating. On the product side, I've led end-to-end development of AI platforms from concept to launch, including Chanakya (an AI HR platform), an AI Insurance Claim Assistant, and a data analytics and dashboarding platform for a global sports and athleisure conglomerate across the US, Europe, and Netherlands. On the strategy and operations side, I've helped set up the company's growth, sales, and partnerships function, run go-to-market for new products, and led our presence at GITEX Global 2025. Before DevKraft, I worked as an Associate Economist at Elara Capital on macro and trade research, and contributed to a research project with the Ministry of Commerce on India's FTAs. I'm an MA Economics graduate from IIFT, with a specialization in Trade and Finance. What I enjoy most is working at the intersection of strategy and execution, taking ambiguous problems, structuring them, and driving them to outcomes. I'm equally comfortable in a deck, a sprint planning session, or a client conversation. Currently exploring opportunities in Founder's Office, Chief of Staff, Business Operations, Strategy, Product Management, and VC/growth investing roles. Always open to a conversation.
