I have always been curious about how technology can make our lives simpler and more inclusive - and that curiosity shaped my path into product management. An MBA graduate from IIM Calcutta and an engineer from Jadavpur University, I've built my career at the intersection of product, data, and finance. From starting out in data and consulting, to shaping products across lending, payments, and AI—my journey has been about solving complex problems through simple, scalable design. I’ve been fortunate to work with incredible teams at Paytm, Bajaj Finserv and PwC. What excites me most is the intersection of technology, data, and customer behavior - how the right product can change the way people borrow, pay, and trust financial systems. I enjoy taking ideas from 0 to 1, experimenting fast, and turning insights into real, measurable impact. Outside of work, I love exploring new ideas in product-led growth, generative AI, and the evolving fintech ecosystem in India. Always open to conversations on product, growth, and building meaningful financial experiences.
