I graduated from Delhi Technological University with a bachelor's degree in
computer science and a master's degree in cognitive science from IIT Delhi.
Currently I am working as an
APM at Shvasa, an online LIVE yoga platform with its major user segment in USA and Canada. Being the only person in product team right now, I am dabbling between feature development, metrics, design, marketing, some ops, user research and a crazy amount of stakeholder management. Most of the times I fail. But always, I learn.
Prior to my master’s I also worked as a
fullstack developer at Noon. This experience now comes handy during feature development cycle, both in ideation and execution (software dev’s take PMs on a really good ride otherwise ;) )

After I completed my masters in 2023, I was trying to transition to product role. At one point I realised sitting at home and reading product case studies and watching YouTube videos is a bad way to get good at product management.
So I moved to Bangalore, signed up as a volunteer at HelloMeets and started hosting product meetups. This got me acquainted with people who are into product domain already.
From there I got to know that taking part in product teardowns is a good way to practice product skills, and so far I’ve taken part in 2 teardowns where I got into top 5 in my second attempt.
A lot of learning also came from interviews I didn’t clear.
Here is my learning process, in order of recency, latest to oldest.

My MSc in Cognitive Science gave me a fresh lens to look at things around me. Here is a brief sneak peek of what I learnt/observed during those 2 years.
