About

As a Product Manager at Hike, I leverage my skills in data analysis, negotiation, and go-to-market strategy to optimize user acquisition and retention. I have successfully enabled users to share their success at different AHA moments, resulting in 2.8% additional acquisitions by word of mouth. I have also optimized the journey of new users from install to first gameplay, improving D0 gameplay by 6.2% absolute. In addition, I have enhanced hooks on the play store apps to improve migration to cash app, increasing it from 25% to 28%. I have also introduced a geolocation+KYC flow to prevent new users from banned states, improving geo coverage from 75% to 83% and reducing users from banned states in the system by 20% in 6 months. Prior to Hike, I was a Product Manager at Gameskraft, where I implemented contracts of 100INR value to increase Gross Commission by 15%, launched the product from scratch, and acquired 3000+ high quality users in M0 itself at a CAC of <100INR. I am passionate about creating engaging and user-friendly products that drive growth and revenue.
