About

I’m a Product & Business Operations professional with 1 year of experience across Product Management, Business Operations, Strategy, and Growth, with a strong interest in solving ambiguous business and product problems. At Planora, a 0→1 travel-tech startup, I’ve worked closely with the founding team on product strategy, PRDs, user research, prioritisation, roadmap planning, and feature execution. I’ve written 5 PRDs adopted by engineering, conducted 20 user interviews, contributed to a 90-day roadmap, and led the Trip Rooms feature from research to specification. Before Product, I managed ₹4–6L/month in retail operations, where I tracked KPIs, analysed 150+ monthly transactions, and made decisions around pricing, inventory, operations, and business performance. That experience taught me to look beyond the product and understand how decisions affect the actual business. My strengths include Business Strategy, Strategy & Operations, Product Strategy, Growth Strategy, GTM, Market Research, User Research, Product Operations, Business Analysis, Prioritisation, and Cross-functional Execution. I enjoy turning messy problems into structured solutions, connecting customer needs with business goals, and taking ownership from problem discovery to execution. I’m currently exploring opportunities across Product Management, Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Growth, Product Operations, Program Management, and Founder’s Office roles where I can learn fast, take ownership, and create measurable impact.
