MIIPS, 2027
This is how to say my name:
Why MIIPS?
I chose the MIIPS program because of its interdisciplinary and hands on structure. I like that it covers the full product development lifecycle, from user research and ideation to prototyping, business strategy, and commercialisation. At the same time, the flexibility to choose electives allows me to build a more focused profile around my interests. For someone looking to transition into product roles, I believe MIIPS provides the right combination of product fundamentals, practical experience, and cross functional exposure.Education
I pursued my undergraduate degree at Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management & Engineering (MPSTME), NMIMS, where I completed a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Information Technology.
Experience
Most recently, I worked on Gaffer IQ (GIQ), a real-time football management mobile application that challenged users to make tactical decisions based on live match events and earn a Gaffer IQ score. I was responsible for the product, working across feature development, product flows, and cognitive walkthroughs to evaluate and improve the user experience.
What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?
I am interested in roles across product management, new product development, and innovation consulting, with a focus on consumer technology, sports technology, and wearable technology. My goal is to make technology more accessible and meaningful by developing products that enhance everyday experiences, improve human performance, and give people the tools to expand their potential.
