My Journey
I am a product & tech professional with a record of delivering high-impact transformative products that connect business, technology, and people to solve complex problems. Over the years, I have worn many hats: software developer, management consultant, and product manager across fintech, payments, automotive, and social media ecosystems. My diverse exposure and experiences have shaped my perspective and helps me bring a unique approach to drive product strategy, roadmap, and dev execution to launch products.
Before all this, my journey began in a small village in rural India and through curiosity and resilience continued through my schooling at JNV, Computer Science and Engineering at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT Allahabad), and an MBA at Imperial College London. It truly has been an exciting ride of learning, experimenting, growing, and evolving.
Outside work, I am all about movement and stories. I am enthusiastic about running, cycling, diving into books, experimenting in the kitchen and cooking something new, or enjoying a great movie. I love connecting with people, sharing ideas, and helping wherever I can. So, if you ever need advice on something related to your career or just want to chat about an idea or a new tech buzzword or a book, reach out—I would love to hear your story too!

How I Create Value
Core Product Skills
Technical Skills
Career Evolution
20 years building products across platforms, fintech, payments, blockchain, and enterprise software.
Mastercard
Product Management
Blockchain & Digital Assets
This my left turn into the world of Blockchain and Crypto. While, still trying to make the sense of one of the coolest and most promising tech I am also driving Mastercard's MTN platform growth and adoption via shaping payment capabilities to bridge traditional finance and blockchain. In simple terms, I am driving development of payment products (SDKs, hosted checkout, APIs etc.) to enable secure, compliant fiat ↔ fiat and fiat ↔ stablecoin transactions as an evolving priority.
TikTok
Product Management
Monetization Integrity
TikTok was a change of gears in life. I joined TikTok's Monetization Integrity during the time of its rapid growth and increase in the #users by millions monthly resulting in ever higher ad volumes. I focused on integrity platforms and risk products at TikTok and built & launched ad measurement platform 0→1, products for elections risk control, and solutions to safeguard global sales events to protect CX and revenue etc. While the rapid shipping culture was exciting what made it fun was the global stakeholders to work with e.g. Ops, Ad Experience, Risk, Policy, and Workforce Management etc.
Accenture
Strategy & Consulting
Financial Services / FinTech
I was part of the Strategy & Consulting at Accenture and worked across multiple industries and clients including pillar banks in Ireland, automotive groups, investment broker etc. This was an amazing and foundational experience due to the variety of the experience ranging from launching investment products for EU HNWI, to launching fleet leasing SaaS platform & business, to mortgage platform + broker integration etc. The regular shuttling from one organisation to another and dynamic nature of the work is what inspired me to follow the PM career.
Dell
Software Engineering
Enterprise Software
I worked as software engineer in the enterprise software group at Dell. In this time, I worked on initiatives to conceptualise, design, develop, and deploy large-scale enterprise applications for financial services organisations. Beyond coding day and night my focus was core banking platform modernisation and resulting data conversion, migration, and transformation. I managed platform services overseeing high-profile incidents to restore services and mitigate risks. I also took automation very personally to drive cost reduction and service reliability improvement at the org level.

Beyond Work
When I am not working, this is what I love to do...
Running & Cycling
Running is my go-to way to stay fit and reset my mind — simple, accessible, and all you need is a good pair of shoes. I've recently picked up cycling too and I'm slowly getting deeper into it.

Reading
I love reading, and my Kindle is easily one of my most prized possessions. I mostly read books on technology, science, economics, and business — anything that helps me think better about systems and the world around us.
I'm planning to publish my reading list soon.
Learning
I'm deeply passionate about constant learning and reinvention. Right now, I'm actively upskilling in AI and blockchain, while also going back to my roots and relearning programming.
Curiosity is a lifelong habit for me.
Cooking
I'm a foodie at heart, so cooking feels like a natural extension of that love. I see it as a creative outlet and one of the best ways to explore cultures around the world.
I'm especially into Indian, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisines — if you have a magical recipe, I'm all ears.
