## About

Product Manager with a strong focus on user\-driven product building and using AI as leverage to scale systems\. I have built and owned high\-impact products at Blinkit, NoBroker and Cutshort, across consumer experience, B2B SaaS and internal platforms: At Blinkit, I owned the Customer Delight product suite — including experience enhancers like Easy Returns, Open Box Delivery and the AI Support Bot, as well as internal platforms such as the AI Complaints Analyser and core support systems operating at scale\. At Cutshort, I built Profile Screener, a GPT\-powered conversational interview bot that became the default first layer of candidate screening, significantly improving hiring quality while reducing recruiter effort\. At NoBroker, as the only PM in the Data Science team, I built CallZen \(now ConvoZen\) from scratch into a full\-fledged conversational intelligence B2B SaaS platform, recognised as the \#1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt\. Across roles, my approach stays consistent: deeply understand users, design clear product systems, and ship products that create measurable impact\. Outside work, I work out, play football, and follow cricket and F1
