About

Product Manager with 4+ years of experience building and scaling B2B SaaS, payments, platform, and marketplace products across FinTech, logistics, and supply-chain ecosystems. Proven track record of owning 0→1 and scale-stage products used by thousands of suppliers, partners, and enterprises. Currently driving high-scale UPI and payment platforms at Juspay, supporting 150M+ daily transactions, improving success rates, latency, and partner SLAs across banks and PSPs. Previously led marketplace, compliance, logistics, and workflow automation platforms at Recykal—digitizing low-tech ecosystems and reducing operational risk by up to 75%. Strong expertise in product discovery, roadmap ownership, platform reliability, compliance systems (KYC, risk, verification), workflow automation, data-driven optimization, and cross-functional execution with engineering, design, data, risk, and operations teams. I am a Product Manager with experience building and scaling digital platforms across fintech and cleantech ecosystems. My work sits at the intersection of product development, platform scale, and operational systems. Currently at Juspay, I work on the GPay UPI stack managing high-scale payment systems supporting ~150M+ daily transactions. My work involves coordinating NPCI mandates, ensuring reliability of financial infrastructure, and solving operational product challenges in large-scale distributed systems. Prior to fintech, I worked in the cleantech sector at Recykal where I helped digitize the informal waste management ecosystem. The focus was on building marketplace and logistics products that connected recyclers, transporters, and enterprises while solving real-world supply chain inefficiencies. Across both industries, what excites me most is building products from **0→1** — identifying ambiguous problems, designing scalable systems, and translating complex operational challenges into product solutions. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in exploring how **AI can augment product systems**, especially in areas such as: • workflow automation • decision-support systems • operational intelligence • large-scale data-driven platforms I am particularly interested in working on **AI-first products and platform companies** where product thinking, data, and intelligent systems converge. Open to conversations around: AI Product Management Platform Products Marketplace Systems Fintech Infrastructure
