About Me
Data-driven and user-obsessed Product Manager with a Master's in Engineering Management from Northeastern University and a track record of delivering high-impact products across global teams. I specialize in turning customer insights into actionable product strategies, defining clear roadmaps, and leading cross-functional execution from ideation to launch.
With experience at Bosch, Dell, and BYJU'S, I've worked across hardware and digital ecosystems — conducting user research, writing detailed PRDs, building GTM plans, and optimizing features based on product analytics. My product decisions are grounded in user empathy, structured frameworks, and measurable outcomes.
I thrive in fast-paced environments, excel at stakeholder collaboration, and am passionate about building intuitive, scalable solutions that solve real user problems.
