Customer-obsessed. Loves creative solutions to problems.
I'm a constellation of everything that's happened to me.
Moments first, then places, then what they add up to.
The moments
Connect the dots
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.
Pick any dot. There's no wrong order.
A room full of pictures and color
Mumbai, where I grew up.
All in, then the next thing
Lego, painting, soccer, badminton. I commit fully, then find the next thing.
Painting
Drawing and painting since I was a kid. Still how I destress.
Finding my people
My first week at UMass, looking for where I belonged.
A talk about my home language
My freshman communications class, where I spoke about the language I grew up with.
Why people buy, and how you know
Marketing and economics, together.
Women of Isenberg
I was a panel moderator for the Women of Isenberg conference in 2022 and 2023.
UMass graduation
May 2023.
Wayfair
July 2023, digital product merchandising.
A NotebookLM for the team
I built one to onboard new associates faster, and 15+ ramped up 30% faster. When it got something wrong, I fixed the source instead of patching the answer.
The bird-owner interview
A customer interview that taught me the customer is the expert.
Get everything you need
I helped shape the features and the algorithm behind this Wayfair section.
Wanting to be in the conversation
Losing the thread in algorithm meetings made me want to understand them.
East Coast to West Coast
USC Marshall and the MS in Business Analytics.
Respite Buddy
A 12-hour build and about 40 quiet spots. The digging felt like detective work: for every spot, would I actually sit here?
Core Rep
I ran to get out of my comfort zone and represent my classmates. Now there's a Friday-morning Core A email.
Nobody asked
Puzzle Table and a daily 10am recruiting brief, built because nobody asked for them.
In a sea of black, the maroon
Same blazer, same me, standing out on purpose.
TripMatch
First place out of 44 teams at the USC Marshall MSBA AI Case Competition, October 2026.
…And a mosaic of every place I've been to…
Around the world, across the USA, and home in India. 46 places so far.
… And a sum of everything I've learned on the way.
- 001The customer is the expert. You're just the one taking notes

- 004Don't wait for someone else's dashboard
- 005The data isn't in the data. It's in how people ask for things
- 006Being in the room is not being in the conversation
- 007Show up. That's most of it
- 008Build the thing before you pitch the thing
- 009Go all in. Then go all in on the next thing
- 010Color is not decoration. It's how you get someone to look
- 011Blending in was never the safe choice, just the quiet one
- 012Fall in love with the problem. The solution is disposable
