## Headline

Associate Product Manager \| CSPO® \| Ex Cognizant \| B2B & B2C SaaS HRTech Platforms \| Analytics & Agile Delivery \| Gen AI Initiatives & Automation

## About

I didn't start in product\. I started by figuring out why things weren't working\. Spent 4\+ years as a Business Analyst at Cognizant and Gera Developments sitting with teams, asking a lot of "but why?" questions, and turning messy problems into things people could actually use\. That grounding changed how I think about products forever\. Some things I'm proud of: helped save 38\+ hours per department every month by fixing how reports were built\. Cut system integration time by 27% by redesigning how teams connected tools\. Small changes = real impact\. Now I'm an APM at TeamLease, one of India's largest HR companies, working on SaaS products that real HR teams use every day\. I care about two things: understanding the person using the product and making sure what we ship actually solves their problem, not just looks good in a demo\. I'm a Certified Scrum Product Owner \(CSPO®\) and genuinely excited about where Gen AI is headed in the HR space\. If you're hiring for an APM or PM role in HRTech, SaaS, or anything data\-heavy, I'd love to talk\.
