I graduated in Computer Science from BITS Pilani with an 8.0/10 CGPA, where I balanced academics with leadership roles—captaining my volleyball team, performing in dramatics, and spearheading a nationwide science Olympiad that engaged over 2,000 students and grew participation by 140%. These experiences gave me early exposure to leading teams and managing large-scale initiatives.
My professional journey began with technical internships at Samsung R&D and Amazon, where I optimized deep learning models and enhanced secure payments. At ServiceNow, I strengthened my engineering foundation but also went beyond my role by building a tool to visualize user journeys, which deepened my interest in product management.
I then joined LILA Games as one of the first product managers after their $10M Series A. There, I owned the end-to-end lifecycle of a mobile FPS game—from designing combat systems and monetization to managing cross-functional teams. I directly hired and managed QA engineers and a UI artist, coordinated with veteran consultants from Riot and Activision, and built a 10,000+ global player test community, which saved significant playtesting costs and sharpened our roadmap.
Currently, at Almabase, I lead SaaS product initiatives that drive alumni engagement and fundraising. I’ve launched 6+ high-impact revenue features, improved K12 customer NPS by 15%, and supported expansion into healthcare markets.
Across roles, I’ve consistently sought ownership, led teams under pressure, and delivered products that blend technical depth with business impact—strengths I now hope to scale through an MBA. I now want to lead product teams at big tech giants like Amazon, Meta, Google in the USA
