• Engineered Pay Before Delivery (PBD) to convert COD orders into prepaid, extending prepaid beyond the traditional pre-order flow. Owned end-to-end solutioning across backend contracts and Android, building scalable post-order payment collection, state handling, retries, and A/B-driven variants. Scaled to 100% of users with a lightweight, animation-rich UI, driving +0.26pp NMV and +0.45pp net prepaid share uplift, while improving order quality to 3.07% RTO vs ~21% for COD. Built reusable post-order infrastructure later leveraged by Pay-Via-Friends and Meesho BNPL. • Developed Pay-Via-Friends (PVF), a resilient shareable payment ecosystem addressing UPI limitations and recovering 1.6% of prepaid-share loss from NPCI’s UPI Collect deprecation. Engineered server-driven confirmation, reconciliation, state management, and polling resilient to app backgrounding/process death. Built reusable QR, sharing, and payment infrastructure, scaling to 100% of eligible users and driving +1.4% prepaid share uplift and 25% higher prepaid activation. • Led E2E architecture for the industry’s first Partial Online Payment method, owning backend contracts and optimized Android implementation. Built sequential animations, dynamic UI states, and FTUX using Lottie/native components with minimal performance impact. Enabled rapid A/B experimentation while reducing RTO and prepaid cannibalization, driving +1.2pp prepaid share, +0.75pp NMV, and 8% lower cancellations. Further payment-page UX improvements added +0.5pp prepaid share. • Led payment-page offers architecture revamp, migrating Offers APIs from Juspay to an in-house backend to reduce third-party dependency and latency. Implemented card tokenization, removed legacy code, and made offer resolution asynchronous, improving page load by ~200ms and increasing offer application and payment-page-to-order conversion by 10%.

• Built Meesho UPI using Razorpay Turbo UPI SDK, implementing a custom bottom-sheet handler, robust state management, and Dynamic Feature Module (DFM) delivery to avoid a 1.2MB APK increase. • Optimized Add-to-Cart by reducing checkout steps from 4 to 3 and adding price-drop callouts, improving ATC conversion by 12% and NMV/VI by +0.70%. Built a WebView-based experimentation layer and led the modular native migration. • Redesigned the order confirmation page using JTBD-driven layouts, SDUI widgets, animations, and flexible UX, increasing cross-sell and repeat orders by 2.4%. • Improved team velocity through critical refactoring across Cart, OCP, and Payment modules, proactively monitored metrics and regressions, improved stability, and mentored new joiners through structured KT roadmaps.
