About

Two completed infrastructure projects, zero over budget, zero missed deadlines. That's not a product metric — but it's the same discipline product managers need: align people who don't report to you, around a decision that has to ship, under a deadline you don't control. I spent my first two years post-graduation running exactly that kind of work — coordinating design teams, field staff, and community/government stakeholders on live projects. I'm now applying that operating discipline to product, backed by formal grounding (a Product Management course + Entrepreneurship + Social Media Marketing as part of my Management minor at IIT Gandhinagar) and a year of hands-on case study work through Product Space's AI PM Fellowship. What that's produced so far: → A full product cycle for a carbon-transparency e-commerce feature — persona research, journey mapping, Kano-based prioritization, wireframes, and defined success metrics, end to end → Go-to-market research for a real D2C product (Plantro NutriBars) — 168-respondent market survey, live sample rollouts, pricing validation, SWOT/STP/Porter's Five Forces → A feature analysis and redesign proposal for MyGate (75% market share, 25,000+ gated communities, 4M+ homes in India) — persona research across four distinct user types, mapped to two concrete feature breakdowns → Data pipelines and dashboards (Power BI, PostgreSQL, Python) turning raw transaction data into decisions I bring three things most early-career PM candidates can't credibly claim yet: 🔹 Stakeholder management under real pressure — not case-study pressure, budget-and-deadline pressure, tested across contractors, government bodies, and community groups 🔹 Data fluency — SQL, Python, Power BI, and the habit of checking a hypothesis against data before committing to it 🔹 Structured problem-solving, sharpened through McKinsey's Forward Program (hypothesis-led, SMART structuring) I'm looking for Associate Product Manager, Product Manager, or Business Analyst roles in consumer tech or AI-driven products — India-based or remote-first teams. If you're hiring, building, or just want to argue about whether Kano models are overrated, I'd like to talk.

AI product Management Fellowship at Product Space, Aug 2026 - Present · 2 mos, Remote

Junior Project Manager at Geo Designs & Research Pvt. Ltd., Jul 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 3 mos, Vadodara, Infrastructure delivery for government and community-facing transit projects — functionally a multi-stakeholder environment with competing priorities (cost, timeline, public acceptance, regulatory compliance), no different in structure from a cross-functional product team balancing eng/design/business asks. Problem owned: Projects were running on ad-hoc cost and timeline estimation, creating budget risk and stakeholder distrust. Key decisions: Chose to standardize estimation into a repeatable protocol (MS Project + Primavera) rather than handle each project reactively — a build-once-reuse-often decision, same logic as building a PRD template instead of writing specs from scratch every time. Cross-functional scope: Design teams, field staff, community stakeholder groups, government bodies, contractors. Strategy + execution split: Strategy = deciding what needed standardizing and why (WBS models, estimation protocol). Execution = running the actual 2 project deliveries against that framework. Outcome: 2/2 projects delivered under budget and ahead of schedule since instituting the protocol — evidence the framework, not luck, drove the result.

Product & Market Research Intern at Plantro Pvt. Ltd, Aug 2023 - Dec 2023 · 5 mos, Gandhinagar, Early-stage D2C nutrition brand pre-launch — zero existing customer data, needed to validate product-market fit before committing to a formulation and price point. Problem owned: Should the product exist, for whom, at what price, and with what formulation — classic 0-to-1 validation problem. Key decisions: Ran descriptive survey research (168 respondents) before sample production, rather than building first and testing later — a sequencing decision that reduced wasted production cost. • Surveyed 150+ respondents and ran market analysis (SWOT, STP, Porter's Five Forces) to shape the design of a nutritionally-enriched energy bar from zero • Ran live sample rollouts (12-14 iterations) to validate taste, texture, and willingness-to-pay — closing the loop from stated preference (survey) to revealed preference (real tasting/pricing feedback) • Translated consumer sentiment into positioning and marketing strategy, directly informing go-to-market messaging

Summer Research Intern at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, May 2022 - Jul 2022 · 3 mos, Gandhinagar, Under Prof. Udit Bhatia o Scrapped data from Travel payout’s website to model and analyze the Indian aviation network. o Implemented sorting algorithms to find their robustness to disparate attacks. Identified optimal recovery strategies using the Greedy Algorithm. o Reviewed existing methodologies and Conceptualized a framework to calculate the economic losses Induced by Precipitation induced flood events on Indian aviation network. Academic research modeling systemic risk (Indian aviation network resilience to disruption) — a data-driven decision framework exercise, structurally identical to modeling product risk/dependency chains.
