Head of Product & Monetization
I am a product leader at heart. What drives me is solving real problems — for customers, for partners, and for the teams I work with — and turning those solutions into products and businesses that scale.
Over the last 14 years, I have built scalable products across FinTech and SaaS, on both the consumer (B2C) and business (B2B) sides, inside large organisations and early-stage startups. That range has given me a grounded, practical sense of how products, businesses, and teams actually come together to create value.
At Finanshels, I lead Product & Monetization. My focus is building a finance platform that takes the cost, complexity, and anxiety out of managing money for the region's small and medium businesses — so founders can put their energy into the work they truly care about, while we help them make sound financial decisions at every step of the journey.
Most recently I spent five years at Paytm leading Credit & Payments. Before that, I built procurement and accounts-payable SaaS at GEP and Zycus — competing with SAP and Oracle, and going live at some of the world's largest enterprises. I hold a B.Tech from NIT Trichy, and I keep learning constantly, lately through hands-on work in Generative and Agentic AI.
I am endlessly curious. I like thinking about business, startups, money, technology, AI, geopolitics, astrophysics, and human psychology — and I enjoy the thought experiment of anticipating how things will play out next. I hold strong views, but I hold them loosely; I would rather learn something new than be right.
Outside work, I play most sports (badminton is my current game), I have trekked to Everest Base Camp, and I build small AI projects for fun.
What I care about most is building products that solve real problems and make a genuine difference in people's lives. If you would like to talk about products, startups, AI, or just have a general catch-up, I am easy to reach on LinkedIn — I would be glad to connect.
