I spent five years as a mobile product engineer, building payment infrastructure, ad products and monetisation features at companies including Bajaj Finserv, Inshorts, Pocket FM and Verona. What I kept noticing: the hard questions were never about the code. They were about growtth what drove revenue, what kept users coming back, and how fast a team could act on it. Launched 6+ mobile apps and shipped 20+ end-to-end features across growth, monetisation and customer experience.

ABOUT ME
{ 01 }
IIT Kanpur had me building chatbots for Fibe India back in 2018 — before OpenAI made that cool. I also worked on a Brain-Computer Interface project, using brainwaves to control a robot — basically my own low-budget Cerebro moment, minus the mutants and Patrick Stewart.I also spent a stretch as Head of PR for Techkriti, Asia’s largest student-led technical festival — running 500+ volunteers, £200k in sponsorship operations, and embassy partnerships that took me from coffee chats with Jamaica’s education minister to jamming backstage with EDM artist Willy William. Turns out managing a festival budget and managing a product roadmap use the same muscle.My London business degree took things somewhere I didn’t expect: brand strategy for a couture jewellery house at Paris Fashion Week, and an investment strategy for an NGO — a long-time dream, getting to give back and be part of something culturally bigger than a product roadmap. I’ve also been scaling SOAS’s own website under my marketing professor Dr Majd, improving how the university shows up in LLM-generated search results — which means I’m now doing GEO for the institution that’s teaching me strategy.But I never lost the tech thread. Five years building digital products and software for real businesses taught me the thing that actually matters: the exact moment someone gets bored, loses patience, and quietly deletes your app.I was a self-made data scientist turned software developer — Covid did that to a lot of us — and it landed me at Bajaj Finserv, India’s largest NBFC, helping build one of the earliest UPI payment platforms in the country. From there I became a founding engineer on the ad layer at Inshorts, the layer that actually pays the bills for turning every news story into 60 words. Then I scaled Pocket FM from India into six international markets — the US, UAE, Australia and the UK, etc. — designing and launching the entire architecture for the Pocket Toons app within three months and optimising its monetisation layer. A short stint at Verona, a matchmaking startup, came next, before I got the opportunity to pursue a Master’s in London, where I’m now researching the ethics and safety side of AI.Wherever I’ve been placed, I’ve tried to do my best there — and I’m still chasing the next thing to learn.

The academic foundation behind the work

"IIT Kanpur is one of India's most selective institutions — I placed in the top 0.1% of over 150,000 candidates to get in. Four years there taught me to approach problems with an engineer's precision, long before I knew I'd end up in strategy."
