Vibing with Claude | AI-Native Product Builder | Ex Paytm, Paytm Money | IIM Ahmedabad

About

My path into product started with code. I spent two years as an Android developer before figuring out that what I really wanted was to be closer to the why - why we're building this, for whom, and whether it's actually working. Since then: a logistics startup, an IIM Ahmedabad MBA, three years across Paytm and Paytm Money (subscription systems, consumer loyalty, fund management), and now Nextuple, where I work on omnichannel order management products for large retailers. Outside of work, I've been deep in AI. Building LLM-based games, tinkering with agents, slowly turning Obsidian into a second brain. Not because it's strategically useful - just because I find it genuinely fascinating and I can't stop. I think that's how you actually understand where technology is going. When I'm not doing any of that: Acquired, Lenny's Podcast, cricket, F1, and an embarrassing number of TV shows. If something on my profile caught your eye or you just want to talk product please reach out.
