All things Product! Launching products and crafting stories that get people to adopt. Now expanding into AI-driven product work.

About

I focus on building products that prove pull, not just presence. Currently at Kotak Mahindra, driving adoption for new products across 2000+ internal users, and part of the GrowthX cohort exploring 0→1 & 1→100 growth strategies. My strength lies in decoding user insight, closing feedback loops, and translating them into product direction and GTM motion. Where product, marketing, and growth overlap, that’s where I operate best.
