Currently on a break. Catching up with myself, friends, books, and entrepreneurs.
Previously, I led product management at Rapido for 2 years. Prior to that, at GoJek, I led product and business teams for loyalty, partnerships, CRM, monetization & growth platforms. Prior to that, I built a product org for a suite of "ops platform"
products to power GoJek’s driver, merchant, and customer operations.
At Yatra.com, I had overall responsibility for ground transportation (Cabs), Rail & Bus products. My primary accomplishment was in building out the ground transportation vertical through partner APIs (Uber, Ola, inter-city cab operators & self-drive) and integrating with Yatra's loyalty program. I joined Yatra through the acquisition of my startup (maker of mGaadi.com and goCartr.com). mGaadi was a Bangalore-based pioneer that created the "Uber for auto rickshaws" category which ultimately led to Ola & Uber adding auto rickshaws to their products.
My experience in the technology domain spans both large firms (Yatra, Adobe, Yahoo, Navteq) and startups (mGaadi, Graspr, Online Anywhere).
At Adobe, I led the Flash Platform engineering team in Bangalore for 18 months and held global P&L responsibility for Adobe's Shockwave & Director businesses for a year. Previously, I co-founded Graspr.com and led Product Management & Engineering until May '08. During my 8 year stint with Yahoo, I held several PM & technology leadership roles notably within the Mobile & Data Science/Analytics groups. I joined Yahoo through the acquisition of Online Anywhere. Prior to that, I worked in various engineering roles with NavTeq (Navigation Technologies).
