I currently work at Microsoft as a Principal Product Manager in Azure. Previously, I worked in VMware as a Product Line Manager for a datacenter product. In addition, I have held positions at Intel where I worked in product strategy and marketing roles for cloud platforms, Intel-based notebooks, and desktops. Over the past 12 years, I have gained a wide range of experience, beginning as a systems engineer and later transitioning into journalism for a top Indian newspaper. I then moved into program management at a startup called Nuage networks. For the past 8 years, my focus has been on product management and product strategy. One of my fundamental beliefs is to contribute to the community, which has been a part of me since my engineering days when I established a non-profit organization called 'Maatrutva' to support underprivileged communities. You can find more details about it on my LinkedIn profile. At present, I aspire to give back to the PM community by serving as a mentor, coach, and learning from these mentorship opportunities.
