About me

Present

Cannot tell you how excited I am building a product in the AI era. Currently building a next generation design tool for UX designers that makes them fall in love with the creative process all over again.

Past

Previously, I co-founded Bookpad, a cloud-based document technology startup, which was acquired by Yahoo in 2014. Today, Bookpad's technology powers the document preview experience for hundreds of millions of users within Yahoo Mail.

As a product manager at Yahoo and Hopper, I built and shipped products used by over 100 million users, generating more than $500M in annual revenue.

I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, majoring in Design.
