I redesigned digital workflows that reduced registration drop-offs by 60%, built data monitoring systems that cut institutional decision timelines by 50%, and enabling access to ₹9,000+ crore in research funding opportunities across India's innovation ecosystem. The platform was presented to Heads of State from 26 countries at the World Governments Summit 2024 in UAE.<br><br>Before that, at Drishti IAS and Vision IAS, I spent 8 years designing and shipping digital learning platforms - building mentorship products, role-based dashboards, and national rollout frameworks used by 10K+ learners across 100+ cities.I work at the rare intersection of product management, digital governance, and public policy.&nbsp;<br><br>I can navigate government stakeholders at the highest levels, translate policy constraints into product decisions, and drive adoption at national scale.Currently open to Product Manager roles in GovTech, Digital Public Infrastructure, EdTech, Development Sector Tech, and Policy Analytics. Based in Bengaluru - open to relocate, remote and hybrid.</div>

Building <div>I'm deeply passionate about connecting with people, which initially led me to aspire to become a psychologist. However, my parents steered me towards engineering, so I pursued a B.Tech in Biotechnology instead.<br><br>During and after my B.Tech, I had the opportunity to work on pre-clinical research projects with the Dabur Research Foundation, where I found joy in explaining the science behind experiments.<br><br>After taking a break from my first job, I delved into introspection and research to understand my ikigai—communication. This led me to pursue an MBA to enhance my networking skills.<br><br>My education at ICFAI Hyderabad equipped me with valuable insights into sales management, consumer behavior, and marketing strategies, fostering a deeper understanding of the business landscape.<br><br>Embarking on my post-MBA career at Practo, I leveraged my biotech knowledge to connect with healthcare practitioners, gaining invaluable experience in sales and account management.<br><br>Transitioning to Zomato, I took on the challenge of both business development and account management, successfully launching initiatives like Zomato Gold in Mysore.<br><br>At Cure.fit, I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, including gym marketplace/franchise initiatives and digital content production.<br><br>If you're interested in discussing fitness, mental wellness, backpacking, healthy cooking, reading, or anything related to sales and networking, I'd love to connect!</div>
