Who I Am
About
New Delhi, India
I'm a product manager who built a company before knowing what a PRD was.
As Founder & CEO of Distance Connect (Skillzia Education Technologies), I led a cross-functional team of 8, ran 500+ user interviews, defined north star metrics, shipped 15+ features, and grew the platform to 5,000+ active users and ₹2.5 Cr in valuation , all while studying engineering at DTU.
I've since closed the company and redirected that energy toward PM roles where I can apply these skills at scale. I'm especially interested in AI-native products, EdTech, and platforms with strong data flywheels.
My edge: I've been the PM, the founder, the growth marketer, and the stakeholder manager , often all in the same week.
Where I've Been
Experience
- Executed GTM strategy for the college vertical using viral loop mechanics , acquired 1,300 active users in 1.7 months, exceeding targets by 40%.
- Designed multi-channel growth experiments (influencer, campus activations); achieved 25% organic growth rate and 3.2x viral coefficient.
- Conducted user research to identify friction points; A/B tests improved activation rate by 18% and cut time-to-value by 40%.
