Restlessly Curious
Senior Technical Program Manager with 15+ years delivering AI, GenAI, and agentic systems at enterprise scale. At the intersection of enterprise strategy and raw building. Always learning, always shipping.
The Journey
Started in India, studied Political Economy at UC Berkeley, cut my teeth in strategy consulting at Deloitte, then went to London Business School for my MBA — where I caught the entrepreneurship bug for good.
Since then it's been a parallel life: building ventures from zero (Powr of You grew to 20 countries) while leading complex tech programs at Meta, Koch, and PayPal. I'm the kind of person who runs a GenAI platform for a Fortune 50 by day and debugs a serverless app for a side project by night.

The Intersections
I believe expertise is most valuable when it's cross-pollinated. My experience in big tech provides the systems thinking needed for startups, while my entrepreneurial ventures keep my leadership approach lean, fast, and experimental.
In practice, this means applying global infrastructure scale to early-stage MVP growth. Using startup resourcefulness to cut through enterprise complexity. Blending technical TPM precision with the empathy and urgency of a founder. Building teams that think like operators and builders at the same time.
