Product, Partnerships, and Growth Leader with experience spanning fintech, banking, entrepreneurship, and wealth management. Currently leading Product & Partnerships at Pluto Money, where I drive product innovation, strategic alliances, and regulatory first execution across wealth tech, credit intelligence, and financial infrastructure. My focus is on building scalable financial products and business ecosystems that create meaningful customer impact. Prior to this, I worked in Transaction Banking at ICICI Bank and also embarked on an entrepreneurial journey as a founder, gaining firsthand experience in building businesses, navigating uncertainty, and turning ideas into execution. These experiences have shaped my approach to leadership, combining product thinking, commercial acumen, partnership development, and operational excellence. Beyond the corporate world, I am an author and storyteller, exploring themes around human behavior, socio-economic realities, and modern India. I believe that whether building products, businesses, or stories, success starts with understanding people.
