I'm a Senior Product Manager based in Gurugram with 15 years across Investment Banking, Credit Cards, Lending, and Digital Experiences at Barclays, Citi, Mastercard, and JPMorgan Chase. I've led large-scale product transformations, moved teams from waterfall to agile, and shipped products that quietly do their job so well people forget they were ever broken. Currently building an Agentic AI financial servicing assistant at Barclays.

Thoughts & Ideas
My take on financial-services product, agile transformations, and shipping AI inside heavily regulated companies.
In Banking, the Customer Journey Is the Product
Waterfall-to-Agile Was the Easy Part. Agile-to-AI Is the Real Test.
Shipping AI Inside a Bank Is a Different Sport
Experience
15 years across Barclays, Citi, Mastercard, JPMorgan Chase and Accenture — leading product transformations in credit cards, treasury services, payments, and digital servicing.
If it's broken, I will fix it. If it's stuck, I'll figure it out. If it hasn't been done before — even better.
Stack
The tools I use to ship financial-services product — from API design to backlog grooming and customer-journey mapping.
