Hello, I’m Drishti.

I am a product and program management professional. I build bridges between ideas and execution, turning product visions into strategic roadmaps that drive results. With a focus on turning ideas into reality, I lead initiatives that create value, foster innovation, and achieve strategic business goals.

My journey into the world of product and project management began with a simple yet powerful idea: the belief that technology can transform lives. As I pursued a degree in Computer Science, I became fascinated by how data, creativity, and user needs could come together to create impactful solutions. This passion led me to take on leadership roles, where I discovered my love for managing cross-functional teams and driving projects from concept to completion. Today, I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®).

During my time at AIESEC, I had the privilege of leading a global marketing team across B2B and B2C products, managing teams in both Mumbai and Singapore. I learned the importance of understanding market needs, stakeholder engagement, and the power of innovative strategies to deliver measurable results.

Now, as I pursue my Master of Science in Engineering Management at USC, my journey continues. I’m working on projects like Postura, a smart mirror that uses AI to enhance posture, and Stylr, a wardrobe assistant powered by augmented reality. Each project challenges me to think strategically and focus on user-centered design. I’m excited to continue building products that create real impact, and I’m eager to see where this journey takes me next.

About Me

Outside of work, I enjoy playing pool and find great excitement in escape rooms. I’m also passionate about giving back to the community and volunteering to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
