I started with screens.
Now I work on the things behind them
I'm a Product Design Manager interested in the space between product strategy, design craft and team leadership — usually the messy bit where the problem is still being figured out and nobody has quite agreed on the answer yet.
Over 8+ years, I've worked across travel at Flipkart and Cleartrip, banking at Zeta, fashion commerce at Newme, and quick commerce at FirstClub.
I started with a focus on interfaces and gradually found myself more interested in the problems behind them — how products are shaped, how teams make decisions, and how design can influence both.
Today, I lead product design at FirstClub as part of the founding team, working across product direction, design craft and building the team around it.

teaching since 2021
I lead through clarity and involvement rather than hierarchy — giving designers ownership, helping them understand the product and business context, and building a critique culture that raises the quality of thinking, not just the pixels.
