I define myself as “an MBA with three patents”. I am a Product Enthusiast who loves to develop innovative products and solve complex consumer challenges by simplification. I have also developed the art of communicating technical information to people from non-technical backgrounds gained through travel to numerous countries and interaction with people from different nationalities and backgrounds. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA from the University of Maryland Smith School of Business to leverage my product knowledge and apply the science to solve business problems.For seven years, I worked in the consumer durables industry at the core of research and development and learned the technicalities of a product. During all these years working with people from various backgrounds and nationalities, I gained much more than what a technical person would achieve because of my zeal to innovate and collaborate with various international and domestic stakeholders, and my ability to manage cross-functional teams and lead effectively. I spearheaded various new technology and innovation projects and developed myriad proofs-of-concept that simplified and enhanced customer experience such as launching India’s First Inverter Air Cooler and India’s First Leakproof Air Conditioner. With experience working and developing 50+ products, I have steered the product developments of five product categories from ideation to final execution from R&D. In this capacity, I drove various cost optimization projects and contributed to various build vs buy decisions, creating an overall value of $500M for the organization. I became financially independent at the very young age of 15 leveraging my academic skills to tutor others that helped me learn that you can achieve anything with your brain power.
