I build B2C / B2B2C consumer growth systems from scratch that turn intent into business outcomes. Healthtech: Incremental 8% GMV in 12 months. Gaming: led India’s number one top grossing title with durable LTV gains. At MediBuddy (Founder’s Office), I lead Growth across marketplace journeys: Home, Search and Browse, Checkout, Post purchase, and lifecycle CRM across push, email, WhatsApp, and in app. I scaled experimentation to cover all traffic with a reliable test cadence and clean event schemas, keeping decisions data-driven without slowing execution. Highlights include clinically grounded personalization that identifies chronic cohorts and powers cross sell, and an OCR and LLM based reimbursement bill system that processes thousands of invoices per day to convert into carts, which doubled first time conversions and lifted reorders 21%. I also built habit loops and removed friction to expand MTUs and raise LTV. Result: compounding business outcomes with an operating rhythm that lets product, engineering, design, marketing, and CRM execute decisively. Previously at Games24x7, I combined disciplined experimentation, LiveOps, and behavioral segmentation to compress launch cycles and lift monetization. I took a social casino to number one on Google Play India, delivered a zero to one casual title with top decile early metrics (Day 1 retention 50%, Day 7 retention 25%, payer conversion 2.5%), increased repeat purchases 15% with data informed pricing and VIP programs, and institutionalized a growth tooling stack that cut time to launch 4x and protected performance with automated controls. Well-versed with release management cadence in both iOS/Android apps. Strengths: Product Analytics, Growth Product Management, Retention and Monetization, 0 - 1 Launches, Lifecycle CRM, Personalization at Scale, Experimentation Platforms,AI/ML Systems, Marketplace Conversion, Behavioral Segmentation, and Building Operating Cadences where good decisions repeat.
