and I make music
I'm a music producer and primarily play the piano and percussion. I'm currently working on solo projects, where I'm establishing my unique musical fingerprint - an alchemy of genre, personal poetic expression and cinema.
With a classical piano education & years of playing the drums for bands across South India, I began releasing music as a solo artist in 2020 and have since been featured in publications like Rolling Stone India, Wild City, Berlin On Air & Jazz in India, and radio stations like 94.3 Radio One & Musomuso FM. I usually compose, produce, record & mix my music, but have also collaborated with artists including Aleif Hamdan, Bongi Duma & Smokey the Ghost.

I create tech products
I'm a product manager at Spotify in New York where I'm building out products for creators and businesses. Before this, I built a suite of self-serve ad tools at Moat (Oracle) and worked on the product strategy team of a British startup Grapeshot.
I began my journey in India where I studied engineering & design, building a 'super-mileage' car & publishing research in aero-dynamics. In 2016, I began an MS at Columbia University, where I worked on projects with Louis Vuitton & Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. I completed the Google UX design certificate in 2023 and have recently been working on a few UX design side projects.
