Product Analyst \| Darwinbox \| Building AI Products \| IIT Kharagpur

## About

Most PMs can talk about AI\. I spent 8 months in a founder's office building it\. At Drippit, I helped build a Gen Z fashion\-discovery app: AI\-powered search plus a swipe\-based UI that turned "I don't know what I want" into a purchase\. Idea to live release, working shoulder\-to\-shoulder with design and engineering\. Now I'm on the Product team at Darwinbox, one of Asia's largest HR\-tech platforms, on Payroll: where "close enough" isn't an option, because every edge case is someone's salary\. My path here wasn't linear\. Applied Geology at IIT Kharagpur, juggling multiple PORs and initiatives until product became the obvious place to solve problems full\-time\. Two things I care about now: AI products that reach real users at scale, and fintech, where the hardest problems\- trust, conversion, regulation are the ones worth solving\. I dig into the numbers before the narrative\. If you're building an AI or fintech product and want someone in product who'll get hands\-on with the data, the design, and the release\- hit me up with what you're building\.
