About Me

I lead Product and Design at Times of India, India's largest digital news publisher. My team of 60+ handles everything from the core reading experience to the ad platform to the puzzle games you might be playing during your commute.

The work I find most interesting sits at the intersection of three things: building products that genuinely help users, making the math work for the business, and doing it with a team that's growing and learning along the way. I've been doing this for 14+ years across media, travel, and real estate — but the constants have stayed the same. Understand the user. Ship things. Measure what matters. Iterate.

These days, I'm especially interested in how AI is reshaping product development. Not the hype, but the practical stuff: how it changes what's possible to build, how fast you can move, what new capabilities become table stakes. This site is partly an excuse to keep experimenting.

Outside work, I'm based in Delhi-NCR, usually stuck in traffic between Gurgaon and Noida. I have twin toddlers, which means my reading happens via audiobooks during that commute. (38 books in the last three years — I wrote about it.) When I'm not doing any of that, I'm probably tinkering with some side project that may or may not go anywhere.

Mentoring

I'm open to mentoring folks earlier in their product careers — especially those figuring out the craft, not just the job hunt. If you're working through a real problem and want a sounding board, feel free to reach out. I can't help with referrals or hiring at my current organization, but I'm happy to talk shop.
