A detailed record of what the role actually was, what moved, what did not work and what I learnt.
The clean résumé line is useful. The memo behind it is usually more honest.
Co-founder - Product
I built the product from scratch and now work across product, solutioning, marketing and support. idto is profitable, with 120+ businesses onboarded and 55+ transacting.
What I learned: Building a company means hiring well and making the small daily decisions that shape bigger outcomes.
Product Strategy - Secure ID
Led product strategy for Secure ID, the identity verification suite at one of India’s largest payment aggregators.

Product - BFSI workflows
Led the BFSI workflows charter from 1 to 10, as Equal grew into a larger financial-data business.
What I learned: Equal’s acquisition of OneMoney, one of the country’s largest financial-data companies, gave me a closer view of that scale. I also experienced fundraising, moving cities and working with larger teams.

Built and scaled payslip OCR and self-serve onboarding, and worked on HRMS-based connectors.
