PM at Sportstech · Bangalore · Open to conversations

I build products people come back to.

Product manager with 4+ years across software engineering and product, taking products 0→1 across consumer AI, subscription monetisation, B2B marketplaces and hospitality SaaS. I started as an engineer, and I still check the cohort before I trust the chart.

01 Selected work

Eight products. Every number defined.

Consumer AI, retention and monetisation at Sportstech, plus two 0→1 builds before that. Each case shows the cohort, the window and what I watched so the number couldn't lie.

02 How I think about metrics

Anyone can say retention went up. I'll show you which retention.

"Retention up 32%" means nothing until you know who was counted, over which window, and what else you watched. Here is one cohort counted four ways, and why I use the ones I use.

Week-4 bracket · days 22–28

Did they work out at least once in week four? Seven chances to land in the window, so I'm measuring habit, not the calendar. This was the headline metric for Sportstech Move.

IllustrativeMade-up users and curves, not real data. The definitions, and the rule about curve shape, are the ones I used at Sportstech.

Six rules I keep coming back to

Each one shows up in a case study
  1. 01

    Find the early action that predicts retention.

    At Sportstech it was three workouts in the first two weeks. Once you find it, a retention problem becomes an activation problem, and those are much easier to move.

  2. 02

    Name the counter-metric before you ship.

    It's easy to lift retention by nagging people until they switch off notifications, the channel you'll need next time. Opt-outs were a hard guardrail on Move.

  3. 03

    Pick the window that matches the problem.

    Credits were measured at 60 days. Measuring at 14 would have measured the exact problem we were fixing: people weren't ready for premium that early.

  4. 04

    Stated reasons are routing signals, not research.

    "Too expensive" from someone who barely opened the app is a value problem, not a price problem. I check what people say against what they do.

  5. 05

    No data? Find the smallest version of the answer.

    Five conversations, a manual count, a hundred support tickets. Then write the assumption down, so when I'm wrong I know which belief broke.

  6. 06

    Fix adoption before adding features.

    If current users aren't adopting the core feature, more features won't help. At DigiStay the bar was simpler still: faster than paper, or nobody uses it.

03 Journey

Engineer, then MBA, then product.

As an engineer I kept getting pulled toward the consumer experience and the business side of what we built. So I moved to where those decisions get made. Tap a bar to open a stop.

Computer science fundamentals. The base for every technical conversation I have as a PM.

Associate Engineer · Nagarro

Client-facing dashboards and apps for global brands. This is where my technical foundation comes from.

  • Lufthansa — front-end UIs (Angular) for a revenue-management dashboard where pricing managers update prices and see revenue impact in real time.
  • Cisco ThingQbator — an Electron desktop app that pulls student code from a browser IDE, installs dependencies and runs it locally, so Cisco didn't have to run it on its servers.
  • AI chatbot backend — Node.js and Python, connected to the front end over sockets and optimised to a 1.2 s response time.

Indian hospitality SaaS. I joined before the company was incorporated and built the MVP with the founders; it scaled to 50+ hotels.

  • Research with 25+ hotel staff and 40+ guests; 8 actionable insights.

Two things a résumé can't tell you.

The unknown excites me more than it overwhelms me.

That's how I've worked across fitness, hospitality and B2B industrial without a background in any of them. I learn a new domain fast, mostly by sitting with the people in it.

  • Fitness
  • Hospitality
  • B2B industrial

I'm easy to work with.

I adapt quickly to new teams and shifting priorities, and I like understanding where different people are coming from: an engineer weighing feasibility, a founder chasing growth, a receptionist with a queue at check-in.

Also — my PRDs spend real space on the problem and the business goal. I want engineers to fall in love with the problem, not just the ticket.
