About

I build products by starting with the people who will use them. For 6+ years I have taken digital products from a raw idea to launch as a founder and product lead - booking platforms, admin dashboards, marketplace apps, healthcare websites and content-led growth funnels - for businesses and creators across India, the UK, the USA and Bali. What I do as a product manager: - Product discovery: I talk to users and business owners, find what is actually broken, and turn it into a clear problem statement. - Requirements and product documentation: I turn needs from business and technical stakeholders into feature specs, user flows, process maps, user stories and acceptance criteria that design and engineering teams can build from. - Product roadmap and prioritisation: I decide what goes into each release, weigh every change request against scope, timeline and cost, and can explain why a problem is worth solving now. - Delivery: I work with design, development and implementation teams from kickoff to launch so features ship as intended. - Launch and iteration: I plan go-to-market, read funnel and engagement data, and use it to decide what to improve next. Selected work: - A 0-to-1 real estate plot-booking platform with buyer and admin dashboards, where buyers pick plots directly on an interactive layout instead of a list of numbers. - An investor-founder pitch platform where I owned the feature backlog, budgets, change requests and go-to-market. - A fertility clinic website rebuilt around the patient journey, replacing medical jargon with plain language to build trust. - Billing moved from Word documents to Zoho Books, with training that drove adoption. - 30% lower bounce rate, 40% more website traffic and 50% higher social engagement across my UX and growth work. AI in my workflow: I use AI tools daily to build working prototypes, wireframes, internal tools and full products, including a platform I shipped end-to-end with AI-assisted development. Building this way has taught me that AI output is probabilistic, so I check it against real requirements, compare quality, speed and cost across tools, and know when AI is the wrong tool. Before this, I founded N-Techs, a doorstep phone-repair and smartphone-help service for elderly parents whose children live abroad. It taught me that a real user need is not enough if the market is not ready.

Founder at NTechS, Jul 2017 - Nov 2019 · 2 yrs 5 mos, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, NTechS was a B2C service-based startup focused on simplifying technology for everyday users. We offered personalized suggestions for tech purchases and taught the basics of using iPads, smartphones, and computers—especially aimed at elders, in a language and pace they could easily grasp. Over time, we expanded our services to include doorstep smartphone and tablet repairs, aiming to bring convenience and trust to local tech support. While we saw good initial traction, we eventually decided to shut down operations due to challenges in managing on-ground technician teams and consistently meeting evolving customer expectations. Despite its closure, NTechS was a valuable learning journey in customer experience, service design, and real-world problem-solving. What it taught me: a real user need is not enough on its own. Operations, trust and market readiness decide whether a product can scale.
