About
With a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of Madras, I have built a robust career in product management and innovation. Currently, I am the Product Lead at Quick Recruit, where I focus on driving product innovation and expanding into international markets. I also mentor startups globally through Startupbootcamp. Previously, I held senior roles at FINE+RARE and Tesco, where I led transformative initiatives, including launching new platforms and developing advanced technological solutions. My experience extends to roles at ShakeDeal, Cleartrip.com, Tripfactory.com, and Via.com, where I managed marketing, partnerships, and eCommerce strategies. As a Co-Founder of JUMADI, I pioneered Facebook Commerce in India. My early career included a role as an SCM Analyst at Hewlett-Packard, where I managed warranty services and vendor relations. My diverse experience across industries has equipped me with a unique perspective on product development and market expansion.
