Building FUELL - clean, bite-sized energy snacks designed for the modern hustle. The idea sparked during my time at Jupiter - between long hours, late-night sprints, and constant snacking on coffee and sugar. I couldn’t find a snack that was clean, tasty, and actually helped me stay sharp. So I built one. At FUELL, I lead everything from product and brand to sales and retail experiments - crafting snacks that fit into fast-paced lives without compromising on health. We're on a mission to FUELL your hustle without compromising on health!

At Jupiter, I led key product initiatives across Personal Finance and Growth, driving user value and business outcomes in a fast-moving fintech setup. 1. Product Lead, Personal Finance Management - Built end-to-end Personal Finance Management tools to help users track spending, income, and investments across multiple accounts using the Account Aggregator framework - Collaborated with ML engineers to design a transaction categorization model with ~85% accuracy — foundational for all insights and nudges across the app 2. Product Lead, Growth Products (Homepage, Rewards) - Led the homepage redesign to surface new offerings like Loans & Credit Cards, improving their discovery and driving bottom-funnel metrics - Launched brand voucher redemption within Jupiter Rewards - enhanced redemption variety for users and reduced internal fraud Jupiter taught me how to build for scale, accuracy & impact- all at once.

I joined Trell after the Womaniya acquisition, leading product teams to seamlessly integrate our amazing community and boost Trell's overall engagement. Here's how we hacked growth: 1. Trell Chat: Created bite-sized daily content around Astrology, Bollywood, Cricket & Devotion, through relevant groups; fueling a 4x increase in Day 1 retention 2. Trell Games: Integrated hyper-casual games to attract new users and keep them hooked, resulting in an average 3+ minute game session time 3. Creator.space: Built a 'link in bio' solution for creators to showcase their work, connect with fans, and generate income. We successfully onboarded 2500+ creators in a short time, paving the way for creator monetization on Trell

I worked with Cardekho before Womaniya's acquisiton. I led the consumer product of Cardekho Gaadi Store (Gaadi.com) within their used car business vertical. My job was to simplify experience of a car owner to sell his used car, along with increasing good quality leads for the business. I had a great experience of working on end-to-end funnel here. Most notably, we integrated our flow on Acko & Park+ apps to increase relevant traffic. I understood the power of making small changes. Like this one time, we added an OTP verification step before showing the car price. This single change helped filter serious sellers from casual ones and reduced our lead processing cost by 40%, without affecting our conversions & revenue.

We built Womaniya as a safe space for Indian women to connect in their native languages (seed-funded & backed by Anupam Mittal!). We empowered women to express freely, share experiences, and get trusted support on relationships, health & parenting. It all started with a WhatsApp broadcast and eventually grew to a thriving community of 3,00,000+ women on Womaniya app. The growth story resonated with many, leading to its acquisition by Trell.

I joined PSTakeCare as the first full time employee, and saw the team grow to 100+ rockstars. PSTakeCare remains the longest and most enriching stint for me, both professionally & personally. It got me into the startup world, where I learnt to craft products from scratch, hire teams for different functions, and build revenue making businesses. I led Patient experience, Operations, Analytics & Revenue verticals. In just 6 months of starting our surgery care product, we were able to take our revenue from zero to over a million. I also managed 30+ team of Patient Care experts to ensure a smooth and supportive experience for all our patients. My days were filled with stories of hope – like a father who found the perfect doctor for his kid's critical eye surgery through our platform. Their relief and countless others fuelled my passion for helping our consumers!

Launched my career in management consulting with KPMG Advisory, focusing on Financial Services. Our team helped leading banks & NBFCs improve operational excellence, customer service, and digital channel migration. This experience honed my data analysis expertise and instilled a data-driven approach. Being the youngest in client meetings with CXOs & VPs of India's top banks was a masterclass in leadership, observation, and long-term thinking.
