About Me
I'm an aspiring Product Manager and Associate with a strong foundation in research product strategy and frontend development. My journey began in college with a B.Tech in Computer Science where I built technical fundamentals and curiosity for solving real problems through code and user insights.
As a Research Analyst at AML RightSource I honed data-driven analysis and market understanding. Before that internships in market research at HR Reflections and product research at ZENNiX taught me to uncover user needs analyze competitors and shape actionable strategies.
During my NextLeap PM Fellowship I led a 16-week project on ChatGPT mobile voice input adoption conducting market analysis applying systems thinking mapping outcomes and grounding decisions in user research and evidence.
I'm excited about AI-powered products fintech and behavior-driven experiences in emerging markets like India. I value clarity rigor ownership practicality ethics and durability always aiming to build things that scale and deliver real impact.
