About
Product Manager with 10 years across consumer apps, marketplaces, and tech. I've worked on both sides of the product table, business development at Booking.com and Cleartrip gave me close exposure to how distribution, pricing, and partner behaviour shape what users actually experience. That context now informs how I build. And at Publicis Sapient, I've shipped a consumer ordering app (5% MoM user growth), an IoT-powered ops platform that cut unplanned equipment downtime by 20%, and a real-time GCP data platform that eliminated 90% of manual reporting across finance, marketing, and ops. I work well in ambiguous, cross-functional environments, comfortable defining the problem, aligning stakeholders, and seeing delivery through. My approach to prioritisation is grounded in data - funnel analysis, user research, business value, and impact-effort frameworks over instinct.
