About

Product Leader | Cofounder | AI-Driven Product & Growth I'm a product leader and startup cofounder—driven by the desire to solve real customer problems through thoughtful design, data, and emerging technologies like AI. As Cofounder & Director of Product at Aeria, I'm building an AI-powered platform that reimagines how commercial office campuses operate—used across some of India's largest developers. Over ~12 years spanning Proptech, Hospitality, and Automotive Software, I've built and scaled multiple B2B and B2C products from 0→1 to 10→100, creating new categories and expanding into untapped markets. What excites me most? 🧠 Mapping end-to-end user journeys 🤖 Turning AI capability into real product—LLMs, RAG, and agents solving problems people actually have 📈 Driving measurable business outcomes through product innovation Whether it's launching a new product, defining GTM, running enterprise sales, or building the team, I love working at the intersection of customer empathy, technology, and business impact. Let's connect and shape what's next in Product and AI together!
