Product Marketing Manager

ThriveStack

Tried making it easier for B2B SaaS companies to launch and monitor their PLG motions. 

1. First and only strategic hire, bridging vision and execution.
2. Conducted and collated insights from 147 interviews to refine ICP and shape product strategy.
3. Gained deep insight into the infrastructure requirements for B2B SaaS to run hybrid (PLG + SLG) growth models.
4. Secured early customers through effective market research calls.
5. Built and maintained the Webflow site, integrating GA4 and Syft Data for targeted outreach.
6. Published thought leadership articles, leading to industry co-authorship opportunities.

My market research didn't support the pivot. Time for a new chapter.

5. Helped startups build their early-stage narrative through Tellable

Freelance Consultant

Lemiride

Tried to build a unified booking platform for experiential tourism; here’s what I learned:

1. Define the problem statement with clear constraints—it’s the foundation for building a product people want.
2. ‘Company Vision’ aligns the team and acts as jargon for external stakeholders. 
3. Starting with scalability in mind can limit potential. Do scrappy things, see what sticks, and double down on the repeatable.
4. Most importantly, execution is priceless; ideas are cheap.

In the end, the grueling process clarified what I truly want in life, professionally and personally.

1. Handled the Fitness and Swimming PNL, Stock and Merchandising.

Proudest moment- Received £10 tip during Christmas for delivering a punching bag to the customer's car.

2. Curated and organised training sessions, gathering 120+ team members across India in one location every six months. 
3. Introduced SOPs and tech-driven reporting systems, enhancing efficiency and organisation.
4. Conducted impact analyses and mentored Pace Care, increasing revenue from INR 0.5 million to INR 2.4 million in 18 months.

The most satisfying job I ever had. I wish good work paid better.
