About

With a Bachelor of Technology in Biotechnology from Amity University, I have built a diverse career in product management and entrepreneurship. I am the Founder & CEO of Kintsug, where I lead strategic direction and operations. Previously, I served as a Product Manager at Plane and Questbook, where I conducted extensive user research and collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative products. My experience includes roles at Keka HR, a stealth mode startup, and IMPRZD, where I focused on product development and growth strategies. I have also interned at Tech Mahindra and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd, gaining valuable insights into analytics and process engineering. My early career included leading a biodiesel startup, Gallon’s, which earned recognition for reducing production costs and was shortlisted for a national pitch competition.
