Open to Senior / Lead PM conversations

I make complicated systems explain themselves.

Twelve years of product management across observability, IT service management and data platforms — at New Relic, Atlassian, SAP Ariba and Samsung. Mostly spent turning firehoses of machine data into something a person can act on at 2am.

Selected work

Four charters, four different kinds of hard.

Each of these was a single owned surface — not a slice of someone else's roadmap.

Atlassian

Incident Management

Senior Product Manager · Jira Service Management · 2021–2024

The product held the record of an incident without ever holding the work — teams left for other tools to triage, resolve and understand what happened. I owned the end-to-end journey and rebuilt it around the three moments where people walked away.

Help Center customers, Q1500+
New Relic

Distributed Tracing

Lead Product Manager · APM · 2024–present

Customers send far more trace data than the product turns into anything legible. I own the FY26–28 strategy for closing that gap — pulling value out of telemetry already arriving rather than adding surface area to query.

Monthly active users+25%
Entity coverage target80%
SAP Ariba

Central Data Management Platform

Senior Product Manager · Reporting & Analytics · 2019–2021

Every team was building its own pipeline. I built the standard one — ad-hoc reporting, ML training and NLP tooling in a single platform, plus self-serve ingestion and orchestration so analysts stopped filing tickets to get data moving.

Samsung Research

Samsung Pay — UPI

Product Manager · India · 2017–2019

Owned the UPI charter. Built the module with NPCI and Axis Bank, then went after the unglamorous things quietly killing activation: registration friction, budgeting, and VPA discovery.

Experience

The full run.

Six companies, one throughline: complex systems, made usable.

  • Own the FY26–28 strategy and roadmap for entity coverage ratio, targeting 34% → 80% by deriving value from tracing ingest
  • MAU up 25% between Aug 2024 and Jun 2026
  • Shipped Intelligent Exemplar and Attribute Correlation Analysis, putting insight inside the troubleshooting moment rather than behind a query
  • Grew MAU from 60k to 340k — a 5.7× increase — by building the end-to-end incident journey
  • Lifted CSAT from 43% to 72% through automated incident resolution, triaging and root cause analysis
  • Launched the revamped Help Center in the Premium pricing tier, with 500+ customers adopting in the first quarter
  • Built a standardised analytics and reporting platform used by 70% of paid buyers, with ad-hoc reporting, ML training and NLP tooling built in
  • Built self-serve tooling for analysts and data scientists to automate ingestion, processing and orchestration
  • MAU up 14% by fixing registration, budgeting and VPA discovery to lift engagement
  • Built the UPI module in partnership with NPCI and Axis Bank, growing daily transactions 10% in the first quarter
  • Desktop unique-user conversion 0.6% → 3.2%; mobile web 0.15% → 0.8%
  • Streamlined the end-to-end purchase flow by finding and removing friction across the funnel
  • Evaluated business cases for new product projects on Return on Sales and Net Value Added, supporting top management on approval decisions

How I work

Three things I'll bring on day one.

Make the ambiguous tractable

Most hard product problems aren't hard to build — they're hard to state. Research, market analysis and internal alignment exist to get a vague problem into a shape a team can actually attack.

Measure what compounds

Stickiness, conversion and customer lifetime value, not shipped-feature counts. Prioritisation follows from what those numbers say, which is what makes the trade-offs arguable in the open.

Stay close to the engineering

A CS degree and a decade next to distributed systems means I can hold a real conversation about the constraint, not just relay it. Fewer translation losses, faster decisions.

About

A bit more.

I started out evaluating business cases at Daimler, which sounds like an odd beginning for a product career until you notice it's the same job: decide what's worth building, and be able to defend the number.

Since then I've mostly worked where the data is dense and the user is impatient — developers debugging at 2am, IT teams triaging an outage, analysts waiting on a pipeline. The common problem in all of it is that the system knows what's wrong and has no good way of saying so. That's the gap I keep coming back to.

I'm a computer science graduate from VIT and did my PGDM at IIM Shillong. Somewhere in between I cleared CFA Level I, which is mostly useful now for reading a P&L without flinching.
