🌍 From the Shores of Kutch to the Fast-Paced Product World in Bangalore: My Journey So Far 🚀

Growing up near the Arabian Sea in a small village in Kutch, I was fuelled by a passion for curiosity and creativity. 🌊 These early instincts led me to pursue engineering in Mechatronics at G.H. Patel College of Engineering and Technology, nestled in the entrepreneurial heartland of Anand. The mix of mechanical and electronics engineering 🛠️ sparked my interest in building things, from IoT prototypes to supporting causes like primary education. 🌱

But my journey was just beginning. To explore the global business landscape, I took the leap into an MBA in International Business at Shri Ram College of Commerce. 🎓 There, I had the opportunity to launch a product in 12 new HEGs for Cipla 🏥 and even built a VR prototype for an oil energy firm to engage employees better. 🔍 My fascination with technology deepened, leading me to dive into the world of Deep Learning, where I found myself constantly experimenting and learning.

💼 The Corporate Grind Meets Innovation: Amex Edition
In May 2020, I joined American Express as a Business Analyst, diving headfirst into Late-Stage Collections. 📊 Over time, I was promoted to Senior Business Analyst (🎉), refining my skills in data management, analytics, and reporting. I even got the chance to present on "Disruptive vs. Sustained Innovation" 🌟 as part of Amex's reverse mentoring program—a highlight of my Amex experience!

📊 Cracking AI at Data Sutram
I then transitioned to Data Sutram as a Senior Business Analyst, where I worked with an exceptional team of data scientists to build AI-driven predictive models. 🤖 I streamlined the site selection process and managed stakeholders to improve data delivery for key clients like Hitachi, Reliance, and Tata 1mg. 📈 For my quick problem-solving and impactful contributions, I was honored with the "Successful Debut Award." 🏅

🚀 Scaling Products at Credit Saison India
I then ventured into fintech with Credit Saison India as an APM, managing a D2C lending app that saw over ₹100 Cr+ in loan withdrawals in just 2 years 💸. I handled end-to-end scoping, implementing features like “Overdue Payments” 💡, which improved collections by 3-4% of the outstanding amount monthly. From launching Small Business Loans and EMI Calculators to adding engagement features like Credit Score, I ensured that we not only served users but helped them succeed. With partnerships across big names like Flipkart, Paisa Bazaar, and Airtel, I also helped scale features that impacted millions. 🌐
