Product Leader \| AI Search & Discovery \| User Engagement \| Consumer Internet at Scale

## About

I'm a Product Leader at India's largest local search and discovery platform, where I own product strategy and execution for Search, Discovery, AI\-powered experiences and User Engagement as AVP – Product\. I lead Product Management and Quality Engineering teams, setting strategic direction across Search, Discovery, Trust & Safety, User Engagement and AI\-powered experiences\. Working closely with Engineering, Design, Data Science and Business teams, I translate strategy into products that create meaningful customer experiences and measurable business outcomes\. My focus is on building systems, not just features\. Whether it's designing analytics frameworks that enable better product decisions, improving discovery through AI, or strengthening trust mechanisms that make the platform more reliable, I enjoy solving product problems that scale\. Over the years, I've come to believe that great products are built by empowered teams rather than individual contributors\. I strive to build a culture of clear ownership, high accountability and the autonomy to solve meaningful customer problems instead of simply delivering requirements\. Outside of work, I'm building TropeQuest, a book discovery platform that explores how AI can transform the way readers discover books\. It's a space where I enjoy experimenting with product thinking, customer experience and emerging technologies beyond my day\-to\-day role\. I'm particularly interested in the future of Search, Discovery, User Engagement and AI\-powered product experiences, and I enjoy connecting with people who are building thoughtful, customer\-centric products at scale\.
