When I started, I didn't know what to do.
So, I started doing everything.
As a 22 yr old Computer Science Graduate who wanted to spend energy in better ways than dictating logic to computers, I joined a small Marketing Agency in Gurugram, India
2 months in and already pitching new ideas to corporates, I decided to do more that just marketing. So, I joined a startup as a founding member. You know how that goes...
Operations (2018-2020)
Supervised small projects for clients like MBB, Big 4 & ensured succesful deliveries on time.
< 1 % Negative Feedback. *Drops Mic*
Trained small teams to oversee projects and cater to client requests around the clock
Clients love to ruin other's sleep, Thankfully we didn't mind.
Redirect clients to the support team after I moved to other roles within the organisation
I guess consultants tend to forget. Sorry Emily & Joe <3
Marketing (2018-2020)
Owned the creation and distribution of visual & written content across social media, web & email
My writing & design muscles were swole
Gained followership of 10,000+ Arabic service experts on FB & Instagram in under 1 year
Viral memes know no borders, language or otherwise
Came up with catchy terms to describe the work culture and engage teams
EZ Obvious Branding
Product (2020-2024)
Alongside the CEO, built the technology vertical, hired a lean team of 30 individuals across roles
~200 person hours lost in between interviews :/
Led the Product Lifecycle Management Process for multiple AI SaaS products
0 lives were lost for cost reduction
Broke stuff to drive innovation, deliver maximum value to users & gather hate from developers
Thank you Sooraj, you understood me.
Systems (2022-2024)
Built low-code / no-code apps to save annual recurring cost for HRMS & MIS subscriptions
1,000s of dollar saved are 1,000s of Dollars in revenue
Automated and simplified processes to reduce the time taken for critical operations
Faster processes = More time for coffee breaks
Built the framework to crystallize the operating model of the business
Couldn't figure out how to run a country using the framework
Management(2022-2024)
Helped devise the by-laws for the Leadership team to operate transparently and fairly
Felt like a crash course on writing a constitution
Defined the values and ethics of the ideal fit and a valuable team member
Yes, we had inititation ceremonies like all cults
Proactively identified and strategically resolved operational challenges
Serious Business, no punchlines
Having done all this, I want to continue building products in new domains
As a 28 yr old Product Manager with startup founding experience, I want to explore new environment, domains and Product scale
I am ready to take on challenges and learn a lot more from both failures & successes in my journey. Looking forward to new opportunities!
Thank you for taking the time to read about me!
