For the last 9 years I've built products across marketplaces, gaming, fintech and consumer internet. Recently I've become fascinated by a new question: How does product management change when software can reason, generate and execute? Over the past few months, I've been building AI products and agents in public (Nag Bot, Nibbles AI - meal planning, Spend Analyser etc.) I'm particularly interested in: - AI-native product design - Agent workflows - Consumer AI products Currently working as a Senior Product Manager at PayPay India. I have previous stints at WinZO Games and Uber. MBA from IIM Calcutta and B.E. (Hons.) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani. GMAT '16 - 770 | CAT '16 - 99.84 | XAT '17 - 99.95
