About

Hello! I am a Lead Product Manager in the FinTech domain, driving solutions that enhance access to formal credit across India. With combined ~7 years of experience in technology and product management, I thrive at the intersection of innovation and customer-centric problem-solving. I have completed Post Graduate Program (MBA) from IIM Bangalore, where I honed my skills in product management and business strategy. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from NIT Nagpur. Previously, I worked as a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm India, contributing to the development of flagship Snapdragon processors for mobile and automotive platforms. During my internship at Samsung India (Bixby - Voice Assistant), I focused on enhancing its features and user experience, proposing multiple new capabilities. I’m always open to discussions on customer-first products, user-centric design, and emerging technology trends. Let’s connect if you’re working on something exciting!
