My Journey to Product

I studied commerce.

University of Delhi, India.

I chose commerce because of my interest in costs, numbers and finance. I earned my Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in 2016.

I became a banker.

ICICI Bank. Privilege Banker.

Banking was a very random decision after my graduation. I did financial analysis and MI reporting for risk management. I ran AML monitoring and KYC reviews on client portfolios.

I observed the bank's products and applications, and thought about how to improve the experience for customers. I have seen things from the user's side since then.

I moved to HDFC Bank.

HDFC Bank. Personal Banker.

I managed client portfolios and gave personal financial advice. I left to pursue my PGDM.

I studied finance and big data.

FORE School of Management, Delhi, India.

During my PGDM I interned in corporate finance at PwC India and in channel sales at Credflow.

I completed my PGDM in Finance and Big Data Analytics in 2023.

I became an investigator.

PwC Acceleration Centers, Bangalore, India. Experienced Associate.

I lead workstreams in fraud investigations. I manage and mentor a team of 8. This work taught me to pay attention to detail, find hidden patterns and structures, and think about how the client will find the work helpful.

I helped build a risk-screening dashboard for a healthcare client. It cut the time to process a case from 30 to 10 minutes. This was product work, and I realised I enjoyed it a lot.

Since 2024 I am a member of the Staff Advisory Council at PwC AC.

Currently building and shipping AI products.

After the dashboard, I decided to move into product and explore that area. I chose AI products because even people from non-tech fields can get hands-on and make products. That boosts my confidence.

To explore my career, I did the AI Product Management course (8th cohort) by Shravan Tickoo at Rethink Systems, Jul – Sep 2026.

I built and launched Adhikaar, a web app that guides families through bank-deposit claims.

I built and launched Vantage, an AI learning app for consultants who work with clients.
