Product & Strategy Leader — MBA Candidate, UVA Darden

I lead teams and build businesses that deliver measurable outcomes — from directing a 10-person migration for a $200B client, to scaling a product line 20% month-over-month, to founding a restaurant from the ground up.

01 — About

A builder and a leader, grounded in evidence.

I'm a product and strategy leader and first-year MBA at UVA Darden. Over seven years I've led cross-functional teams, structured ambiguous problems, and turned them into measurable business outcomes — across enterprise software, consulting, and my own ventures.

At Voicing AI I owned client engagements end-to-end, securing $27M+ in contracts. At Sprinklr I rose from analyst to product manager, conceiving and scaling "Social Lite" from zero to the company's fastest-growing line and opening a $30B+ market. At Wipro I directed a 10-person team through a high-stakes migration for a $200B client.

Beyond the corporate track, I founded and scaled a restaurant, led 17 volunteers through a military coup on humanitarian projects, and built the first international Model UN in North-East India. I care about leadership that shows up under pressure and decisions grounded in evidence.

As the one leading the project, I knew Saurabh was one person I could completely rely on. The turnaround was short and the pressure high — but Saurabh did it, and how. Working with him was a breeze; I'd love to work with him again.
