Product Management - Regulated Systems, Digital Identity & Trust Infrastructure | UIDAI Aadhaar Sandbox | $2M+ Business Impact, Ex-Infosys

About

I build and scale regulated, trust-critical platforms where failure, compliance breaches, or ecosystem breakdowns are not an option. Over 18+ years, I’ve operated at the intersection of platform product, regulation, and large-scale ecosystem adoption, most recently leading India’s Aadhaar Sandbox at UIDAI. The platform enables enterprises, fintechs, and public-sector organisations to integrate digital identity and verification workflows in a controlled, compliant environment at national scale. My work focuses on platform ownership, not feature delivery - spanning API-first systems, partner onboarding, governance, and operating products under regulatory and reputational constraints. Earlier in my career, I co-founded a marketplace platform (0 to1) and spent a decade at Infosys building compliance-led data and platform solutions for global BFSI clients. I operate best in organisations where platform stability, regulatory trust, and ecosystem scale are first-order problems, and where product leadership is expected to bring judgment, structure, and long-term clarity, not just execution velocity.
