About

Currently working as a Product Manager at InCred, I did my engineering from IIT Kharagpur. At InCred, I independently conceptualised, designed and launched multiple “0 to 1” products ranging from Embedded Lending to Top Up/UpSell Loan Products to internal tools for investment tracking and reconciliation, enabling me to learn the nuances of both B2C and B2B product management. Have been consistently rated “Exceeds Expectations” based on my performance. These products are cumulatively generating an Annual Recurring Disbursements of INR 1800+ Crore My diverse experiences at InCred, where I was entrusted with responsibilities beyond my designation and years of experience, have equipped me with the confidence, audacity, and skills to lead and build products across domains regardless of scale. Prior to InCred, I was a Product Management Intern at Leap Scholar(Study Abroad assistance startup) where I learnt the ropes of Product Management. My biggest strengths are product sense, problem-solving, customer-obsession, analytical ability and strategic thinking. I am always willing to learn and pick up new skills as and when the need arises. Interested in Product Management, Venture Capital, Strategy, Innovation and Product Marketing roles. Open to new experiences. Avid reader. Passionate about Sports.
