About Candidate
Current MBA and MS MIS dual degree student at the University of Pittsburgh.
My fields of expertise are Business Development, Heuristic Design, Project Management, and Product Development.
I started my career at Byjus and transitioned to business development at Kutung before starting my own company-Creo Empire Building Services in 2018. Since then I’ve scaled up the company over a 3-year period, completing over 200 mobile and web application development projects for clients in 5 countries.
I also work with Diginoor, one of India’s largest NFT portals as their Head of Product Development.
Apart from my professional employment, I also work closely with iGiver (igiver.org), an NGO dedicated to revolutionizing the donation process by improving transparency while simultaneously acting as a nodal point for other charitable organizations.
The common thread that carries through all my activities is a deep desire to understand people and this emotional intelligence has greatly contributed to my success.
My goal is to use technology to empower people and businesses and eventually be known as a ‘rising tide that lifts all boats.’
Always interested to connect with people I can learn from, teach or collaborate with.

Work & Experience
Siemens is a global conglomerate renowned for its diversified portfolio of products and services, encompassing energy, automation, and healthcare technologies. Siemens Healthineers, a subsidiary of Siemens, specializes in medical technology and healthcare solutions. They offer a range of products, including medical imaging equipment, laboratory diagnostics, and healthcare IT systems. I had the privilege of working with the Healthcare Diagnostics team and was personally selected to be part of a team dedicated to developing a groundbreaking diagnostic system that incorporates blockchain, robotics, and IoT technologies. This experience exposed me to critical product development work, provided me with access to highly skilled cross-functional teams, and granted me entry to Siemens' in-house training program. These opportunities significantly enhanced my knowledge and proficiency as a product manager.
CivWiz is a dynamic gamified civics learning application, developed in partnership with the Center on Race and Social Problems at the University of Pittsburgh. This innovative app is designed to simplify complex and nuanced topics, such as race, gender, and social issues, by transforming them into bite-sized games and trivia. Its primary objective is to gamify the learning process and enhance civics knowledge among college students. I was selected to lead this project due to my extensive experience in app development and my background in the startup environment. My responsibilities encompass overseeing all aspects of the project, from managing the development team to securing funding. Additionally, I am responsible for supervising a team consisting of Computer Science and Sociology students. This role also involves collaboration with professors, university staff, as well as third-party designers and developers located offshore. Through this role, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire process of building a digital product, from its initial concept to its successful execution.
Diginoor is one of India's top-tier blockchain development firms and holds the distinction of being the largest digital asset company in South India. The company undertook an innovative initiative by converting iconic moments from Indian cinema into collectible digital assets, offering them to customers. I had the opportunity to sell my own company to Diginoor, and subsequently, I was offered the role of Head of Business Development within their organization. In this capacity, my primary objective was to lead the creation of a digital asset marketplace and effectively introduce this platform to a financially conservative Indian audience.
Creo Empire Building Services was established with a clear mission: to empower startups with growth and IT solutions, facilitating their evolution into thriving business empires. I initiated this venture in 2018 and diligently nurtured it over a span of three years before ultimately passing the torch to my next employer, Diginoor. During this time, we crafted more than 200 web and mobile products, catering to clients spanning five countries. Notably, we thrived even in the midst of the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, consistently delivering high-quality tech solutions to companies in need.
