AI Product ManagerMBA '27 @ CMU Tepperex-BlackRockBlink Health

Engineer turned product manager. At BlackRock I shipped GenAI and Agentic AI tools to 100% adoption; at Blink Health I found a $1.2M-a-year opportunity and prototyped the fix. Now I’m at Carnegie Mellon Tepper, building what’s next.

01About

Who I am

“Engineer by training. Product manager by instinct. Adventurer by choice.”

I studied Computer Engineering at Thapar Institute, where I built my foundation in technology and problem-solving and published a patent along the way. I then spent three and a half years at BlackRock as an Analyst in Product Management, turning Generative AI and Agentic AI into tools that risk and compliance teams actually used.

Today I’m an MBA candidate at Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business, concentrating in AI in Business, Technology Strategy and Product Management. I founded and lead the Tepper AI Club. This summer I was a Product Management Intern at Blink Health, going from on-site workflow observation to PRD to working prototype.

Outside work you’ll find me in the mountains (10+ Himalayan treks), on the mat (mixed martial arts), or flying a drone. These taught me how I approach hard problems: prepare well, keep going, stay curious.
