About

I’ve spent the last 12 years designing products and leading teams across SaaS, fintech, gaming, and edtech. At udaan, I built financial workflows that reached millions. At Phyllo, I headed the design team while staying hands-on as Principal Designer and product owner of the dashboard, which drove a double-digit share of company revenue. I also co-founded Bidkart, a shopping app that grew to 50k users in six months with positive unit economics, and recently built Etymologist - an AI-powered Chrome extension with 100+ users. I enjoy working on problems I’m curious about, making complex things clear and efficient, and building products end to end.
