Originally from Dharwad. Now in Chennai.My journey
Why I'm moving into product.
At the branch, I worked on loan files and customer follow-up. In working capital finance, I helped roll out a lending product. Today, I use enquiry and market data to understand what's happening across the retail business.
Those roles made me interested in how the process itself is designed: what information someone needs, where a file gets stuck, and what would help them take the next step.
I'm learning product management alongside my job. cercit is one way I'm applying it: a loan-review demo where a credit officer can see the documents, policy checks and reasons behind a recommendation.

August 2015–March 2022 · Bijapur
Cashier, then Branch Accountant
Branch accounts and loan operations put me close to the everyday work of documentation, repayments and customer follow-up. I became Branch Accountant in 2017.
August 2014–August 2015 · Shahpur
Customer Support Executive
My first role covered loan processing, credit assessments and compliance work. This was where I learned how a loan file moves through a branch.
Selected work
What I've been building.
Two lending builds, a live group-ordering prototype, two product concepts and a GTA VI product series. Open one to see the decisions behind it.
cercit
I turned my vehicle-finance experience into a working loan-review demo. It checks documents and lending rules, explains why, and leaves the final call with a credit officer.
FinStack cohort
In a five-day fintech cohort I planned, built and live-tested a dealer loan journey on a no-code lending platform. At the demo two cases hit dead ends, so I fixed both.
Ownly Together
A group-ordering concept for Rapido's zero-commission food app. One link brings the group in, each person pays only their share, and I took it to a live, tested prototype.
Wrong UPI payment recovery
After a wrong UPI payment, the sender needs a clear way to act. I designed a recovery request on the receipt, a return flow for the recipient and a status tracker.
HireMate
A mock-interview concept for freshers and career switchers going into banking jobs. I made role-specific questions, a small survey, a clickable prototype and a launch plan.
9 Rockstar products
A countdown to GTA VI: one Rockstar product a day, broken down as a product manager would, each with its own design and one PM concept.
