About
I am an aspiring MedTech business leader with over three years of experience supporting medical device and healthcare technology initiatives through cross-functional collaboration. My background includes product management, operations management, marketing strategy, and sales operations, enabling me to contribute across both strategic and execution-focused project needs.

I have worked across multiple MedTech segments, including orthopedics, sports medicine, cardiovascular and peripheral interventions, surgical robotics, and immersive technologies like virtual reality and mixed reality. In these roles, I frequently acted as a bridge between engineering, clinical stakeholders, and commercial teams, helping translate technical concepts into insights that support business decisions, market positioning, and customer engagement.

I completed my management program at SPJIMR (SP Jain Institute of Management and Research) in Mumbai and am currently pursuing my MBA, specializing in Artifical Intelligence, at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey through the SPJIMR-Stevens exchange program. Alongside my academic work, I continue to explore healthcare use cases for immersive technologies and stay current on emerging trends across the healthcare technology landscape.

Through CapSource, I am especially interested in collaborating with client teams on AI-driven healthcare projects, involving software, smart hardware, or robotics. I believe that AI has a great potential to improve healthcare products and services and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
