Summary

My background as a Civil engineer and a Construction Project Management professional has landed me in some pretty exciting job roles, transitioning my career into product development, product implementation and Customer Success. With humble beginnings as a site engineer and later on as a management trainee, I have worked with the best & one of the largest contractors in India only to sharpen my skills in project management & business development. With my unique set of skills, I was fortunate to land an opportunity with a disruptive startup, where I bridged the gap of a Technical expert & software product implementation consultant, introducing me to new skills such as Product Management and Customer Success. Within a year I had braved the transition to Product Management and Customer Success Roles. As exciting as it was, my quest for more challenges and professional development landed me with my present employer. I currently work at Katerra, one of the largest innovators in the construction domain globally. Initially hired as a Business Development Analyst for the Construction Management SaaS Platform, I was soon bestowed with the responsibility of Product Implementation and Customer Success for the SaaS Platform. With a never-ending drive to learn and develop a rewarding career in the field of digital products and customer experience, I look forward to opportunities that are even more unique and challenging.
