Case studies

Three products where accuracy was the product

A GenAI engine that traces every piece of HEDIS evidence to its source, a fraud platform that decides in milliseconds, and an underwriting workflow that cut days to hours. Each case study covers the challenge, the decisions and their trade-offs, and how the results were measured.

How I run a global team

One product team, three time zones, no waiting on meetings

I built Reveleer's India GCC product practice from the ground up and designed the follow-the-sun operating model it runs on: 5 PMs across India, US East and US Pacific.

INDIA (IST)

8:30 – 10:30 pm

The shared window falls at the end of the India day.

US EAST (ET)

10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Mid-morning, so decisions made live can be acted on the same day.

US PACIFIC (PT)

7:00 – 9:00 am

Start of the day, with the India team's handoff already written up.

OUTSIDE THE WINDOW

Asynchronous

Written handoffs, async updates in the project tool and recorded demos.

Times shown in US standard time. During US daylight time, the window starts an hour earlier in IST.

"A handoff is only as good as what the next team can read without calling anyone." That's the part of the model I watch most closely. Status, decisions and handoff notes are written down, so the next time zone can pick up without a call.

A protected overlap window

About two hours a day for stand-ups, planning and reviews. The stand-up slot rotates so no time zone always gets the inconvenient hour.

Ceremonies adapted, not dropped

Joint sprint planning, sprint reviews mixing live and recorded demos, and retrospectives that collect feedback asynchronously before a live discussion.

Clear ownership across zones

Handoffs, cross-zone coordination and escalations each have an owner, and every team knows the goals, processes and communication rules.

What colleagues say

What it's like to work with me

The numbers show what shipped. These are from an engineer who reported to me, and two senior product leaders I worked with at IMMO.

She supported me extensively in applying AI to create industry-first solutions in the Residential Real Estate space as part of our cross-functional project. I endorse her for any role that requires influencing decisions without formal authority while navigating conflicts to take the Product forward.
Pratik ChakrabortyAssociate Director, Product at IMMO · Senior colleague at IMMO
I am still in awe of how she understands the client pulse and manages their expectation with ease. … No matter what the deadlock situation, she brings in calmness to the meeting room and at the end, we would have walked out with a solution sans the panic.
Wigneswaran KanagasundaramDirector of Engineering at Zipstack · Reported to Sugirda; worked together 6+ years
Sugirda has a remarkable ability to prioritize tasks effectively, and provide updates that those who work cross-functionally can grasp and make sense of. As a team manager, she fostered a collaborative and positive work environment that motivated everyone to perform at their best.
