About

I’m a product leader in B2C Travel, currently working as Director of Product at Paytm Travel. At Paytm Flights, I lead product strategy and execution across flights supply systems, Travel Pass, post-booking experience, automation, and revenue operations. My charter spans supplier integrations, fare availability, supplier selection, subscription-led acquisition and retention, customer experience, CST efficiency, finance and reconciliation workflows, and revenue-leakage controls. I focus on building scalable travel products and platform capabilities that improve customer experience, drive revenue impact, and create long-term operating leverage for the business. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, growth, engineering, operations, finance, and customer support. Before Paytm, I worked on lead generation and product growth at Velocity, a revenue-based financing startup. Prior to that, I was with MakeMyTrip, where I led product initiatives across Holidays post-booking experience, CRM tools, and the Visa funnel. I enjoy solving complex, ambiguous problems with high-agency teams — especially in domains where product, systems, and operations need to come together to create measurable business and customer impact. My philosophy of life is simple: “Win from within.”
