BOMMumbai2012 to 2017

My first job was finding the cracks.

BE (Information Technology)

An IT degree from Mumbai University, then TCS as a tester. Thinking like a user, finding the cracks. That instinct stayed.

Finding them was the easy part.

BOMMumbai2017 to 2022

I cared more about the person than the system.

Tester, then IT Business Analyst

On the ICICI Prudential and Citibank Singapore accounts, the changes that landed removed complexity instead of adding features.

Clients · via TCS
  • ~90%less drop-off after digitised onboarding (est.)
  • 1,200 hrsof manual testing cut a year

His positive attitude stands out and makes him a delight to work with.

BOMMumbai IXWJamshedpur 2022

Five years in, I went back to school.

IXWJamshedpur2022 to 2023

In as an analyst. Out as a manager.

MBA, PGDM (General Management)

One year at XLRI that sharpened the thinking.

  • #1in my batch, AOL functional knowledge exam
  • CWCCorporate Workshop Committee member

IXWJamshedpur MAAChennai 2023

Chennai, where I learned what comes before automation.

MAAChennai2023 to 2025

You can't automate a mess.

Manager, Process Standardization

So I split client communication into rules and judgment calls, standardised it across the top 5 markets, and only then automated.

  • 30 FTEof manual work automated away
  • 50%fewer manual touchpoints in rate booking

MAAChennai BOMMumbai 2025

Home to Mumbai. Five countries that couldn't all match.

BOMMumbai2025

Not everything should be identical.

Senior Manager, Business Analysis

I harmonised one process across 5 EU countries by keeping what regulation required and cutting what was just legacy habit.

  • ~30%less effort, year-end premium adjustment
  • 20+countries in one data-capture model

…exceptional ability to understand complex operations and break them down into clear, workable components.

Ewa LeszczynaBroker / Client Executive, Marsh McLennan

Eight years in, I kept seeing the same pattern.

BOMThe turn2025

Nobody had built the alternative yet.

Capable people spent days on tasks AI could handle in minutes. Not because anyone chose that.

So I quit my job to learn what was actually possible. My kid was one and a half.

So, what was possible?

BOMCaptain's seat2026

Turns out, quite a lot.

Safety card

Four rules I fly by.

  1. Structure before speed.

    If you can't explain the problem in one sentence, you're not ready to build.

  2. Removal is underrated.

    The customer didn't need a better form. They needed fewer forms.

  3. AI is a lever, not a feature.

    Understand the problem first. Then ask whether AI is the answer. Sometimes it isn't.

  4. Show, don't pitch.

    A working prototype beats a deck in ten seconds.

Like the flight?

I build sites like this.

I designed and built this one with Claude Code, 3D flight and all. Want a site that makes people ask how?

Looking for a PM who ships?

Mumbai local time IST, UTC+5:30

I want to own problems end to end and ship them. Best fit: a team building AI-native products, or rethinking how its users work because of AI.

If that's your team, let's talk.
