Experience

1. Senior Product Manager

   YouTube

   Jun 2025 — Present

   YouTube Shopping is a key Google level priority. I am the PM Lead for keeping YouTube Shopping\'s 3 sided market safe - for Creator, Merchants and Viewers. This is important as trust in YouTube and its Creators is more important than ever as YouTube starts to act as an affiliate network as well as a content provider. My team owns multiple facets of safety including 1) Creator led abuse of the affiliate program via fraudulent practices (clickjacking, cookie stuffing) 2) Merchant safety by developing controls on safe content and 3) Product quality maintained by making sure only relevant products show up on videos. I built a multi-year product strategy, 1) architecting rightsized scalable defense systems - subject to clear risk level breaches 2) AI-first automation - utilizing the multi-modal understanding (video x product x text x image) to automate a majority of our workflows with adequate monitoring and evaluation frameworks. This helps us break the linear relationship between the organic/new market growth from scaling quality evaluations 3) Focussing on prevention via Creator warnings and clear mitigation for potential false positives. Impact: • Aggressive quality automation driven from 20% in Q1’25 → 90%+ in by EOY26. • Deploying an early warning anomaly detection system for emerging abuse• Clear measurement for various workstreams along with evaluation frameworks for LLMs• Orchestrated X-Org leadership alignment to enable smooth migrations and balance safety with easy of business
