Hi, I’m Rucha. Let’s build what matters!

I’m a mixed-methods user researcher with a background in experimental psychology and statistics. Over the years, I’ve worked across three key industries — Fintech, HealthTech, and Quick Commerce — helping teams build thoughtful, high-impact products grounded in what people need.

• Led Growth research at Robinhood, uncovering insights that drove adoption and retention, all while scaling a high-performing FinTech research team.

• Currently, I lead research on HealthTech AI at Innovaccer that simplify data, surface insights, and reduce health professionals burnout. In the past, I built AI-powered healthcare tools at Syllable, and Curology — designing accessible, intuitive experiences that helped real people navigate care more easily, from skincare to virtual assistants to enterprise health platforms. 

• Shaped the future of food ordering and quick commerce at Starbucks and DeliveryHero, launching seamless, user-first experiences that blended convenience with trust — from mobile wallets to lightning-fast deliveries.
