I currently serve as the Associate Vice President (Product Management) for one of India's fastest emerging energy-tech organizations. My role revolves around product and technology integrations, participating in regulatory meetings, including BIS, and crafting technologically aligned solutions optimized for swift and seamless Advanced Metering Infrastructure project deployment. With 17+ years of being part of globally acclaimed Fortune 500 companies like L&T and Schneider, I bring to the table deep insights into challenges and opportunities in the energy metering ecosystem. The scope of my expertise includes product certification, product reliability testing, BoM costing, type testing, GTP drafting, competitor analysis, market research, RFP/RFQ analysis, pricing strategy, sales strategy, and comprehensive requirement gathering for the manufacturing process. Building on my dynamic skillset and exposure, I had a long and successful stint as a Product Manager, where Schneider trusted me for the meteorology of the first smart meter manufactured by the esteemed organization in India. With a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics, I am passionate about emerging technologies and products that can make reliable, secure, and sustainable energy accessible to the masses. When not tinkering with smart meters, I am either on roads for long drives or hills for breathtaking hikes. Also, I always remember to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments with my camera.
