My name is Abash and I love problem solving. When I couldn't find a pilferage proof fuel supplier, I launched my fuel delivery startup, raised
funding, scaled to 4 largest Indian cities and later exited to largest Indian oil firm. Later while trading in US options market, I could not find
an accurate bot to execute my designed strategy, so I created a trading bot which generates 5% monthly returns for my customers without
going live in the market.
During my 15+ years of experience I've been a Product leader with a mindset of customer backward thinking to deliver successful product
rollouts having impeccable User Experience. I created vision roadmap, defined success metrics and translated that vision into effective
releases while implementing the user feedback incrementally.
