About

Product Owner | SaaS & B2B | AI, Innovation & User Experience I’m a Product Owner who loves turning ideas into products that solve real problems. At OvalEdge, I’ve led cross-functional teams to design and launch impactful features — from AI-powered automation and rule engines to user-centric reporting frameworks — improving product adoption by 30% and cutting delivery timelines by 25%. My background combines a business foundation (BBA, ICFAI Business School – 9.48 CGPA) with hands-on product experience across SaaS, analytics, and customer success. Earlier, I explored diverse domains through 5+ internships spanning operations, HR, and strategy — experiences that shaped how I approach product thinking from both user and business angles. I’m passionate about building scalable, intuitive, and high-impact products — whether that’s a B2C mobile app, a B2B SaaS platform, or an AI-powered enterprise solution. My curiosity drives me to keep learning, adapt quickly, and collaborate with people who love building great products. Always open to connecting with professionals in product management, AI, UX, and business strategy — let’s exchange ideas and explore what’s next.
