Built and scaled products for India's leading real-estate marketplace, spanning property discovery, lead management, agent onboarding, buyer engagement, and content platforms.
Launched Magicbricks.com and early mobile apps on Java J2ME and BREW, owning the end-to-end product lifecycle within a monolithic architecture. Led cross-functional Product and UI teams through the Waterfall model, Excel-based planning, and manual user research via surveys and focus groups.

Through the 2008–09 recession, introduced automation into testing, deployment, and monitoring — early DevOps-style practice — to cut costs and hold delivery pace under tight constraints.
Shifted to a mobile-first design strategy and brought the technology team in-house, shipping native Android and iOS apps on RESTful APIs and JSON that lifted retention 25% in retail and real estate. Built a dynamic microsite platform that cut creation time by 60%, errors by 90%, and update cycles by 80%, and delivered 10,000+ 3D floor plans across 7,000 projects for a platform serving 1M+ users. Led a 45+ member cross-functional team across product, design, engineering, and QA to relaunch the Projects section, streamlined agent onboarding by 30%, and lifted lead-to-deal conversion by 15%. Modernized the platform through microservices to 99.99% uptime, launched a Virtual Exhibitions platform with 100% uptime for large-scale buyer-seller interactions, and shifted reporting to DAU/MAU/LTV via Google Analytics.
