Product Manager building digital solutions, based in Mumbai

Whether I'm engineering prompts or leading product delivery, I focus on clarity and impact. Good systems—AI or otherwise—are built with intent and consistency

01. about

Techno-functional professional with 6+ years of experience across product ownership, and AI optimization. I have a strong instinct for how data flows and transforms through a system, and can quickly trace where something breaks and why, a skill I apply as readily to root-causing live production issues as to designing new products from the ground up. I've led cross-functional teams building B2B logistics platforms across 11 ERPs, developed GenAI tools that automate SDLC processes, and now bring that same systems-level thinking to diagnosing and optimizing AI-driven business processes at Ecolab. I'm drawn to product roles where I get to build something new, but I'm just as comfortable being the person who gets called in when something's broken and needs to be fixed fast.

Ecolab GBS+ • Hybrid • 04/2026–Present

AI Optimization Sr. Analyst

I sit at the intersection of AI model performance, business process monitoring, and root-cause troubleshooting - training and refining models, then making sure they actually hold up once they're live in production.

Some of what I've driven so far:
• Reduced errors and process crashes by ~85% by leading root-cause analysis (RCA) and partnering with development teams on fixes across cash applications, order processing, and billing.
• Built a Streamlit-based RCA and KPI dashboard that consolidates logs, charts, and performance metrics into a single portal — cutting root-cause turnaround time and removing the need to dig through raw logs.
• Increased touchless automation (AI processing without human-in-the-loop) by 10 percentage points by improving data extraction accuracy and process logic.
• Reduced LLM token consumption by 18% by optimizing data staging, pre-filtering, and cleaning ahead of AI consumption.
