About

Most PMs use data to report what happened. I use it to decide what to build next. I have spent the last 4 years as a Product Manager — at PharmEasy and Solv (Standard Chartered's B2B commerce platform) — owning roadmaps, writing PRDs, running experiments, and shipping features that moved revenue and retention metrics in ways I can actually point to. Before that, I spent several years as an analyst across Snapdeal, Lazada, OLA, and Medlife. That background isn't a detour — it's why I can challenge a metric before it becomes a bad product decision, and why engineering teams trust me when I push back on estimates. A few things I've shipped that I am proud of: → Built a Bank Discount Engine at PharmEasy — a real-time personalisation system that delivered ₹15M in monthly incremental revenue → Scaled a B2B2C acquisition channel via Flipkart and PhonePe integrations, generating ₹5M/month in new revenue → Cut MDR costs by ₹10M/year at PharmEasy through UPI reordering and wallet guardrails → Designed a Smart Reorder system at Solv — drove 2.5% order conversion uplift and scaled GMV for MSME retailers → Reduced onboarding TAT by 80% at Solv through signup flow redesign and document auto-verification. I work best at the intersection of product intuition and analytical rigour — in teams that care about why a metric moved, not just that it did. Currently exploring PM / Senior PM roles in consumer tech, fintech, healthtech, or B2B SaaS.
