Assistant Manager @ Flipkart | I bridge the gap between business strategy & the tech teams building our marketplace engines. (Product Strategy • Pricing Automation • Risk Mitigation)

About

I spend my days figuring out how to take big business goals and turn them into smart, automated systems that run smoothly behind the scenes. Over the last 7+ years at Flipkart, my journey has been all about solving complex backend problems—starting in risk analytics and moving into the core logic that powers our marketplace pricing and search engines. Right now, my work comes down to two main things: 1. Product Operations & Strategy: I act as the translator between our business teams and tech teams. I work closely with engineers, data scientists, and product managers to map out product requirements, automate pricing pipelines, and fix tricky search discovery issues that get in the way of sales. 2. Risk & Analytics: Earlier in my career, I focused heavily on protecting platform revenue. By digging into user data and reseller behavior to uncover fraud patterns, my team and I managed to cut platform financial losses by 25%. I genuinely enjoy fast-paced environments where I can roll up my sleeves with Python or SQL to eliminate messy, manual processes and build scalable platform features instead. 🔹 What I bring to the table: Product Strategy & Lifecycle, Pricing Automation Engines, Search & Discovery Logic, Portfolio Management, and Fraud Risk Mitigation.
