Senior Technical Product Manager at Cruise
Product at Cruise | Kellogg MBA | IIT Delhi
I'm driven by a desire to build innovative products and high functioning teams. My technical acumen and background in product management have allowed me to develop penchant for out-of-box solutions to drive innovation and efficiency across my organisation. 

Having worn multiple hats throughout my career, my professional competencies include product management, product launches, market research, data analytics, customer insights, strategic planning, project management and cross-functional team management.

As an electrical engineer from IIT Delhi (Class of 2014), I'm well versed with Java and SQL. I'm full-time MBA graduate (Class of 2020) from Kellogg School of Management. I believe that through my work experience and education, I’ve developed a number of skills that will allow me to translate seamlessly into a career as a technology leader.
