I am enthusiastic about working in well-organised volunteer groups. Trying to contribute in whatever way I can in spreading constructive ideas. I am passionate about sustainable development goals. Professionally, I have 13 + years in Product Management. Have unlocked three founders in building SaaS products and eventually a seed funded venture. I love the craft of building new Ideas as it requires in depth thinking, applying first principles approach and resilience; which suites my nature and does not stress me out. Personally, my wife and my friends agree on one common thing, wherein they say that I have a knack for taking a neutral stand in conflicting situations, which helps in avoiding awkward conversations in the room 🙂 At TEDNext, I am coming with an open mind and an approved leave from my manager, so that I don’t have to worry about work back in the office. So let’s meet and talk 🗣️ our brains out and make the most out of the conference. Happy to network and I will make sure you get a response from me personally and without delay. Cheers 👋
