Product Manager @ Microsoft Azure | MBA - IIM Kozhikode

About

Product Manager @ Microsoft Azure | MBA from IIM Kozhikode | 8+ years of building 0 ->1 B2B enterprise platform and agentic products I’m a Product Manager with 8+ years of experience building 0→1 AI, cloud, and enterprise platform products, backed by a foundation in software engineering and an MBA from IIM Kozhikode. At Microsoft, I build products at the intersection of cloud, edge, and AI. As a founding PM, I led Azure Arc Workload Orchestration from concept to General Availability in ~12 months, enabling enterprises to deploy Kubernetes applications across distributed edge sites. I owned the GTM strategy for the platform across 12+ strategic enterprise customers. I’m currently leading the product strategy for an agentic AI platform for Azure Local and driving the agentic platform from Private Preview to Public Preview with enterprise customers across multiple geographies. Before Microsoft, I built and scaled B2B products across logistics and travel, driving customer growth, operational efficiency, and platform adoption. I enjoy solving ambiguous customer problems, translating them into clear product strategy, and working with engineering and cross-functional teams to turn complex technology into products that deliver measurable business and user impact.
