I am a mechanical engineering graduate from University of Pune, India. I am figuring out how to unlock growth in products, people and myself. I'm also excited about talking to people who are interested in implementing technology, education, no-code and agritech.
There are things that you love doing. There are those that pay you money. There are things that you're absolutely good at. There are things that the world needs. Then, there are things that intersect across all these circles. The Japanese call this Ikigai, which translates to a reason to wake up every morning. When you love what you do so much, every morning is a new opportunity to learn and improve.
Solving problems with sustainable solutions that bring people together: this is my ikigai.
My story

My Defining moments
All good stories have points where the main character goes through transformational arcs. I’ve put down some of my transformational points for you to read, both short & long versions.
‘Why?’ or ‘Why not?’ The ‘Why’ is at once a question to be answered by gaining knowledge and a driving force to do what I’m doing, while the ‘Why not’ is a self-reflexive process of removing my biases and re-imagining answers to problem statements.
Impact - Why do I want to create an impact? What does creating impact mean for me? What kind of an impact do I want to create? Impact, for me, is not about changing the entire world all at once. If I can even change how one person perceives the world through a product, conversation, service for the better, that’s someone’s whole world transformed.
My time on this planet - Despite (and maybe because of) the imminent apocalypse, my existential woes persist. And yet, more than trying to find answers to life’s Big Questions, I find joy in the seemingly boring everyday: doing mundane work at my farm, play badminton and cook pit roast chicken, and gorging on Hide & Seek Biscuits..
My Hows - How I believe I can do the things I dream of doing.
Resilience - I believe in the power of the learning curve, and to climb a steep curve, it requires mental resilience as I learnt while climbing the Kemps Corner Bridge during my first Mumbai half-marathon.
Curiosity - Curiosity is my favorite quality of mine. It gives me an emotional intent to learn about something, to figure out the Why’s and the How’s and these are things I’ve learnt through nurturing my curiosity. (openness, movement, wonder, biases, halfway)
Atomic Thinking - To find multiple solutions to one problem, I believe it’s important to break it down into Atomic Parts. To internalize this, I undertook the mission of learning Snooker in 20 hours and win against my teacher. I ended up beating them in 11 hours and, as they put it, “insane, unbelievable, what the hell”.
Delayed Gratification - “It doesn’t have to be fun to be fun”—helps me to regain perspective about the relatively brief, anticipatory discomfort about a task in order to help me to handle it to gain the experience of
getting engaged in what I set out to do. I try to follow everything set out in this blog to give my best.
My Whats - What I love doing and the related the skills and knowledge that I have
Product and Analytics- User Research, Analytics based solution, Product Led Growth, No-code based solutions
Research & Documentation - I’ve grown up on the internet & I’ve learnt to separate signals from the noise when going down rabbit holes. I also believe good documentation can streamline good communication to become great communication, and knowledge that’s documented well & shared can be truly transformational for organizations and society at large.
