## Work experience

Senior Product Manager at Zynga, May 2026 \- Present · 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Founder at www\.my\-stack\.live, Jul 2025 \- Feb 2026 · 8 mos, Bengaluru, Your $0 personal AI drive\.

Founder \- tried building www\.gooddoctor\.in at Good Doctor, Aug 2023 \- Jun 2025 · 1 yr 11 mos, Bengaluru, www\.gooddoctor\.in \- A conflict\-free healthcare model where medical decisions \(tests, prescriptions, referrals\) are free from financial incentives\. It didn’t work\. 1\. Ethical doctors \(my target partners\) already had good patient inflow and were locked into their existing EMRs\. Switching platforms was high\-friction\. 2\. Finding a good doctor is typically a one\-time need\. Patients had little reason to return, making CAC >> LTV\. Conflict\-free care wasn’t perceived as a “10x” improvement for outpatient visits\. 3\. Doctor search is driven by proximity and referrals from friends and family, not platform features\. 4\. Online diagnostics and pharmacy provider integration requires a minimum guarantee \- a fundamental conflict of interest for my model\. I didn’t pursue this further\. Chose not to pivot into a generic healthcare platform\.
