About

I've shipped B2B SaaS products from a blank Notion doc to production, and I thrive in that gap between "we should build this" and "this is live and working." At Mewurk, I led the end-to-end development of multiple HRMS modules for India's MSME market, from user research and product discovery all the way to GTM. I owned the Core HR module: defined it, prioritized it, pushed it through engineering, and launched it. That meant running 40+ user interviews, mapping competitive gaps across 8+ HRMS players, writing specs, running sprints, and sitting with the sales team to understand why deals were closing or not. What I bring to the table: → 0→1 product instinct- I've built from scratch, which means I know how to move fast with limited data → User obsession grounded in data- I combine qualitative discovery with analytics to prioritize what actually matters → Cross-functional ownership- I've worked directly with engineering, QA, design, sales, and support → MSME / SMB context- I understand the constraints of selling to smaller businesses: budget sensitivity, low tech sophistication, high churn risk My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, user experience, and data. I enjoy solving ambiguous problems and turning insights into scalable products.
