Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

My mission here is to make insurance less of a headache. I own the EMI collections strategy, where I use smart nudges to politely remind people about payments. Define policy holder credibility by integrating with credit bureaus thus improving overall EMI collection rate from 89% to 93%. I'm also working on a side project where I am building a Conversational Intelligence Platform from the ground up. Basically, I'm teaching AI how to listen to sales calls to provide coaching for our sales reps.

Built the airport lounge ecosystem 0-->1 that lets you seamlessly access lounges with your bank's credit or debit card. It sounds glamorous, but it involved a mountain of compliance (PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001) and wrangling 10+ major bank and payment network provider integrations (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, AU SF Bank, IDFC, SBI, IndusInd, MasterCard, Visa) to make it all work. The result? Over ₹30 Cr in revenue and a lot more relaxed travelers. Also launched international eSIMs, because hunting for a physical SIM card after a long flight is no one's idea of fun.

My first foray into the tech world. I was part of a small team that built a system to reduce the risk of last-minute insurance claim payments by 80% for a reinsurer. I also helped automate a data ingestion process, which significantly cut down on data load times.
