Proof of Work

What I've shipped

Engineer turned PM. I've owned payments infrastructure, built agentic commerce systems, and shipped developer tools — across fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise software.

Fynd

PM for Payments & Finance. Own the full payments stack — checkout, orchestration, merchant configuration, refunds, settlements, reconciliation — and the finance layer on top of it. Platform powers 20,000+ stores across India.

Key releases — shipped in a single cycle

5 payments features shipped in one cycle, all listed on Fynd's public product release page. Featured by the CBO in the company-wide Bloom '26 launch across 70+ features.

Magic Checkout

Conversational checkout with MCP-enabled multi-step execution. Live on production — GUESS was the first merchant, with a real UPI QR transaction as proof of go-live.

Express Checkout

One-tap checkout — fewer steps, fewer drop-offs, higher conversion at the payment layer.

Refund to UPI ID

Instant refunds to any UPI VPA — eliminated refund friction and cut support volume.

Apple Pay via Juspay

Expanded addressable wallet coverage for iOS users across all merchant storefronts.

Razorpay POS

In-store card payments for omnichannel merchants — bridging online and offline commerce.
