Description
I am a seasoned product management professional with over 15 years of experience launching and scaling digital products across diverse industries. I have strong skills in developing and executing strategies, creating roadmaps and go-to-market plans, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and ensuring timely and within-budget execution.
As a natural leader, I have excellent communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to convey product vision to both technical and non-technical audiences. I am proficient in data-driven decision-making, agile methodologies, and lean product development principles. My entrepreneurial mindset has enabled me to create and launch new products and pursue new business opportunities.
I hold an MBA in Engineering Management and a BE in Electronics and Communication, and I am a certified Google project management professional. I am currently enrolled in the Post Graduate Program in Product Management at the Institute of Product Leadership.
My skills include market and user research and analysis, agile project management, UX/UI design, product roadmap planning, cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management, technical understanding and product development, product strategy, product lifecycle management, product analytics, and analyzing key performance metrics and indicators.
In my most recent role as co-founder and director of Urbotask, I co-founded a connected marketplace solution that allows individuals and businesses to interact with each other to list their daily tasks, search for new tasks, and get paid for getting things done. I was responsible for developing and implementing the company’s business plan, leading product development, raising capital, building a team, and managing financial and legal matters. I played a key role in building a strong community of initial users for our product, who provided valuable feedback and support.
As Lead Consultant at Infosys, I delivered innovative, customer-centric digital product solutions that exceeded user expectations and met business objectives. I provided strategic vision to cross-functional teams, utilized data to make informed product decisions, and led pre-sales efforts contributing to the acquisition of significant business deals worth over $2M.
I’m a product leader who values developing impactful products and promoting a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration. My goal is to lead teams to deliver high-quality products that meet customer needs and exceed business goals.
