Hi, I'm
I'm a product person at heart,
with the curiosity of an engineer and the vision of an MBA
I'm a Product & Strategy professional with 4 years of end-to-end product ownership at Zoho, where I built WebRTC video conferencing infrastructure and enterprise Zero Trust security products.
Currently finishing my PGPM at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai (2026) — using the time to go deeper on product strategy, research, and independent case work.
My edge: 4 years of technical ownership means I don't need engineering to explain tradeoffs — I already speak that language. I use it to make faster, sharper product decisions.
Outside work: Represented Ranji CC in the TNCA 5th Division League, won Zoho's intra-org badminton tournament, fluent in English and Tamil.

Process
Built HireLens AI, an AI-powered recruitment intelligence platform automating resume screening, interview evaluation, candidate scoring, and recruiter decision support. Designed analytics dashboards for pipeline tracking, recommendation insights, and candidate benchmarking. Integrated an “Ask AI” assistant enabling conversational hiring insights and natural-language candidate analysis. Led end-to-end product development across AI workflows, UX design, analytics architecture, and scalable SaaS implementation.
Built a production-grade family finance platform actively used for collaborative expense management and investment tracking. Developed role-based family workspaces, member-level expense attribution, portfolio tracking for equities and mutual funds, live market integrations, automated daily price snapshots, and analytics drill-downs. Architected the backend using Supabase RLS, cron-based data pipelines, and server functions on Lovable to deliver secure multi-tenant financial workflows and real-time insights.
AI-powered Built a RAG-based placement intelligence chatbot on real campus recruitment data from the previous placement cycle — used by 20+ batchmates during active placement prep. Students semantically query job descriptions ("which companies want SQL + product skills?") and upload their CV to surface the top 5 best-matched roles via FAISS embedding similarity.
Engineered a query-rephrasing layer to maintain conversation context across follow-up questions.
End-to-end product teardown of India's largest streaming platform post-merger. Covers UX analysis, monetization model, competitive landscape, and 3 strategic PM recommendations backed by pain point scoring.
Full Product Requirements Document for a native group expense settlement feature in Google Pay. Includes problem framing, user personas, user stories, feature scope, and success metrics.
Mixed-methods study across 174 survey respondents and 10 interviews spanning 25+ Indian states. Statistically confirmed charging infrastructure and battery reliability as the top adoption barriers (R² = 0.644) — and surfaced a counterintuitive finding: environmental motivation ranked last, directly contradicting the dominant policy narrative. Recommended OEMs shift communication from sustainability messaging to functional readiness, and prioritise residential charging over public infrastructure campaigns.
Analysed 300,000+ Amazon reviews using netnography, text mining, and PCA across a 246-respondent survey. Discovered that payment ease, app usability, and product trust drive 75%+ of satisfaction — and that all 6 satisfaction dimensions collapse into a single Core Experience Dimension, explaining 80% of satisfaction variance (β = 0.894). Recommended replacing siloed NPS tracking with a unified cross-functional north star metric — reframing Amazon's moat as integrated experience, not any single feature.
