Engineer-turned-VP.
Built for commercial complexity.
I am a Vice President of Product Marketing with over 21 years of experience — beginning as a software engineer and choosing marketing as the discipline where I could create the larger dent. That engineering foundation is not incidental: it gives me a native fluency with technical products that most marketers have to simulate.
Today I lead portfolio product marketing at Azentio, a specialist software company serving banking, financial services, and insurance clients across 48+ countries globally. My mandate spans product adoption, go-to-market execution, product strategy guidance, and revenue enablement across a multi-product BFSI portfolio — with particular focus on markets across the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and India.
Before Azentio, I spent four years as Director of Product Marketing at Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) — an enterprise software company whose revenue grew from ~$400M to $753M during my tenure — where my core focus was product marketing for Chef — the $220M DevSecOps acquisition and flagship of Progress's developer portfolio. Prior to that, I led product marketing at Razorpay during its high-growth phase, and at Near (now Azira) as Director of Product Marketing, building GTM, positioning, and differentiation strategy for an AI-powered location intelligence platform.
At Akamai Technologies, I managed web security products across Asia Pacific and Japan — driving market development, analyst and influencer relationships, and regional marketing strategy across India and broader APJ. This is where most of my press record was built: The Economic Times, The Indian Express, Enterprise IT News, and others.
I hold an MBA in Marketing from S. P. Jain, and a B.E. in Electronics & Communications from R. V. College of Engineering, Bangalore. I am certified in Product Marketing (Leadership and Core) and hold the Pragmatic Marketing certification across Foundations, Focus, and Launch.
