Senior Director, Product Management at Cisco

Bengaluru, Karnataka

I didn’t initially seek out a career in technology. Rather, my curiosity about the world around and an intense desire to make an impact led me there. I followed many successful friends and colleagues passionate about the opportunities in technology and I have not been disappointed.

I love it when customers explain their most pressing problems and I can help solve them.
In spite of not being a “code geek”, it still fascinates me how we can connect the internet with few lines of code to make magic happen. Seeing the technology we develop being used to improve service at places like airports, hospitals, and banks is extremely satisfying.

The future holds boundless potential. I anticipate technology taking over many human functions which will require technologists to have better emotional intelligence. I’m beginning to focus on how to merge inner consciousness with intelligence so we head in the right direction.
