Product Suite

Joined a new 3-person team at a $200M B2B SaaS firm with nothing built. Over three years, wore every hat to build the platform from scratch: APIs, workflows, sales decks, client pitches. Grew to lead a team of nine shipping products that put loans in the hands of rural shop owners in minutes instead of weeks.

THE STORY

By the time I finished high school, I had been the new kid in six classrooms.

Eight cities, four languages. Every time, the same drill: figure out the room, learn the rules nobody tells you, find your footing. Somewhere along the way, I stopped just trying to fit in and started thinking about why some systems make it so hard.

I studied mechanical engineering. No CS degree, no coding bootcamp. When I got into tech, I taught myself everything on the job: Metabase, Python, API design, system architecture. I didn't want to be the PM who couldn't read the codebase. Every 0-1 product I've shipped started with the same pattern: figure it out, then build it.

At nineteen, I co-founded Clan. At twenty-two, joined HyperVerge as an intern: no roadmap, no guaranteed full-time offer. Three years later, I'm leaving as a PM who shipped products driving new business lines and 0-1 initiatives for the company. Next stop: Dartmouth.

I care about building things that work for people who get overlooked. I'm not always great at it, but I keep showing up.

A FEW THINGS

Beyond the résumé.

Things people are surprised to learn.

01

I've run 2 full marathons and 7 half marathons. I never saw myself as an athlete; I saw myself as a person who shows up.

02

I played competitive chess at six years old. One of my training partners became one of the world's youngest Grandmasters.

03

I was a national tennis player, ranked Top 500 U16 in India. Competed in 20+ championships. Three hours a day, six days a week.

04

I play six instruments, sing, and produced music in college. Tabla meets guitar. It works better than you'd think.

05

I've lived in eight cities and studied at six schools. The "new kid" who learned to decode unspoken rules in every room.

06

My YouTube vlogs and podcasts have over 500k+ views. Filmed from my dorm room and watched globally.
