At AjnaLens, I work on taking early-stage healthcare ideas and turning them into production-ready products in collaboration with large institutional partners. My focus has been on AI-powered healthcare workflows, where the challenge is not just building technology, but making sure it fits real hospital environments with high patient volumes, limited time, and strict data regulations. How I work as a Product Manager: • Own product execution from problem understanding to go-live, working closely with engineering, design, and AI teams. • Translate clinical and operational needs into clear product requirements, user flows, and delivery plans without exposing sensitive data or workflows. • Drive prioritization and decision-making by balancing clinical impact, feasibility, and timelines. • Act as the single point of coordination between internal teams and external stakeholders. Impact delivered: • Helped move AI healthcare solutions from concept to real-world deployment. • Improved operational efficiency in OPD workflows without disrupting existing clinical practices. • Ensured products met privacy, compliance, and usability expectations required for healthcare environments. This role sharpened my ability to own ambiguous problems, make product trade-offs, and ship solutions where reliability and trust matter as much as innovation.

Before moving fully into product execution, I worked as a Product Analyst on AI-powered smart glasses, including Lenskart’s “B” Smart Glasses. My role was not just about numbers it was about using data to improve the product experience. What I focused on: • Analyzed user behavior, device usage, and feature adoption to understand how people actually used AI smart glasses in the real world. • Worked closely with product and engineering teams to identify friction points and improvement opportunities. • Used data to support decisions around feature prioritization, performance improvements, and user experience refinements. This role gave me a strong foundation in product thinking backed by data, which I now apply while making roadmap and execution decisions.

Associate Product & Project Manager | HealthTech, AI & XR Products | 0→1 Execution & Stakeholder Ownership

About

Associate Project Manager | Product & Platform Execution | HealthTech, AI & XR I am an Associate Project Manager working at a deep-tech company, contributing to the end-to-end development of technology products across healthcare, AI, and extended reality (XR). I have hands-on experience working on 0→1 products, collaborating closely with engineers, designers, data teams, and external stakeholders to define requirements, manage execution, and deliver user-focused solutions. I’ve worked with large institutional partners including healthcare and technology teams to build products from scratch and take them through validation and deployment. Before moving into product and project management, I spent 6+ years in performance and digital marketing, managing large budgets and data-driven growth initiatives. This background helps me bring a strong user, metrics, and business perspective to product decisions. My core strengths include: 1. Product requirement definition & documentation 2. Cross-functional coordination (engineering, design, stakeholders) 3. User problem analysis & solution validation 4. Metrics-driven decision making 5. Execution planning and delivery I am actively transitioning into a Product Manager role, where I can take full ownership of problem discovery, prioritization, and outcomes especially in HealthTech, AI-driven platforms, and deep-tech products. If you’re building complex products and value clarity, execution, and user-centric thinking, I’m always open to meaningful conversations.
