Nine years of solving other people’s hardest problems. Now shipping my own.
Product leader spanning strategy consulting (Bain & Co) and product management, now driving marketplace monetization and 0→1 builds at Housing.com (REA India).
Two years at Bain & Co taught me to walk into a room with no context, build a defensible point of view from messy or missing data, and defend it in front of people who will try to pull it apart. What it doesn’t teach you is what happens after the deck is approved. I moved into product management specifically to close that gap — to own a problem long enough to see whether my recommendation actually worked, and to be accountable for the number, not just the slide.
The pattern from consulting hasn’t gone away — it’s the thing that makes the product work land. I still write a first-person, no-filler brief before a single line of PRD. I still run the SQL myself instead of asking someone to pull it. And the years before the title — engineering, cost consulting, an early-stage monetization build, then Bain — are exactly why I was trusted with two full P&L charters (Monetization and Payments) within two years of joining, not just one.
