I studied Animation Film Design and Human Centered Design during my undergrad at MIT Institute of Design, Pune, India. I went on to work for an educational technology startup and a series of freelance projects for private and non profit organizations. That experience got me interested in the junction of Design, Business and Technology. CMU MIIPS helped me pivot into the world of GTM strategy, business storytelling and communicating product and service value to the customer. I now work as a GTM Product Manager at Omicelo Investments, a mission-driven private investment group based in Pittsburgh.

I’m a Product Manager at Trucker Path, where I work across AI, navigation, and fleet technology for the trucking industry. I came into product from a technical background, and I’ve always liked staying close to the technology itself, which is one of the reasons I’ve continued to gravitate toward AI and technically deep products. Outside of work, I have a habit of randomly deciding I should learn something new. Lately that has meant swimming, salsa, boxing and inevitably wondering why I voluntarily signed up for all of them. Fun fact: I seem to have a very low threshold for saying, “That looks fun. I should try it.”
