Senior Product Manager (Payments & Growth) | Scaled UPI & Bill Payments to Millions | IIM Kozhikode

About

I work on high-scale payment products where growth, reliability, and regulation intersect. Currently a Senior Product Manager at AU Small Finance Bank, leading the payments charter for AU 0101. I own UPI, BBPS, FASTag, and payment gateway journeys across onboarding, transactions, and post-payment lifecycle. Over the last few years, my work has focused on: • Scaling UPI and bill payment transactions across large user bases • Improving activation, repeat usage, and transaction success rates through funnel-level interventions • Shipping end-to-end UPI and BillPay revamps across P2P and P2M flows • Building products under NPCI and RBI constraints without slowing down execution My strength is operating in complex systems where speed, compliance, and user experience all matter, and still delivering measurable outcomes. I’m exploring Senior Product Manager or Growth Product Manager roles in fintech or consumer tech
