About

I build products that do more than just work; They scale, compound, and quietly solve hard problems. From designing AI-driven auctions on WhatsApp to helping a two-wheeler literally find its voice (yes, motor sounds in Ola scooters), I enjoy building products where technology, human behavior, and business outcomes intersect. With 3.5+ years in product, I’ve worked across 0→1 and 1→N journeys, leading initiatives spanning marketplaces, AI-driven automation, growth platforms, and consumer experiences. I’ve partnered closely with engineers, designers, ops and business teams to turn ambiguity into systems that scale across cities, users, business units and revenue lines. I gravitate toward problems where the problem is messy, the stakes are real and the solution needs both structure and creativity If it sounds like chaos, I’m probably having fun :)

Product Manager at DriveX, Aug 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 1 mo, I work at the intersection of marketplaces, AI automation, and operational scale, building products that power India’s growing refurbished two-wheeler ecosystem. What I do: - Build and scale 0→1 and 1→N platforms across customers and dealer operations - Own end-to-end product thinking from problem discovery and user research to execution, metrics, and iteration - Partner deeply with engineering, design, ops, business, and leadership to convert ambiguity into scalable systems Some things I’ve built: - A trust-led C2C marketplace, scaling across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states - AI-powered WhatsApp-based auction, automating ~80% of auction flows - End-to-end buyer and seller journeys (KYC, pricing, inspections, test drives, payments), improving conversion and payment readiness by up to 25%. - A re-architected customer platform that scaled to 6× buyers and sellers in ~ 6 months - AI-led vehicle self-inspection and vehicle standardization systems enhancing seller listings Beyond features: - Thinking in systems, not just screens; designing workflows that scale across business units and cities - Focusing on impact over output, and clarity over chaos - Picked up a few awards, launching a few firsts, and having a blast doing it!
