Over my 9 years professional career, I have enjoyed working at 2 Tech Giants, 3 startups and numerous passion projects across diverse sectors like Cloud, FinTech, D2C brand, Wellness/Nutrition and SAAS platform. As a Product Manager, I have led multiple product journeys as they went through different stages of their lifecycle. Be it sitting in the first brainstorming session “Can we solve customer problem X and build a business around it” to owning retention for >$ 1 Billion card portfolio, I have taken up all kinds of challenges and delivered results.Here’s what I have learned & internalized along the way:- Great narratives are the best tool to motivate- Collaborate rather than compete with my stakeholders, - Soft influencing triumphs direct command- Trust my gut instinct for building hypothesis then seek data validation- As a PM, it’s okay to be obsessive by nature - For hiring, a good culture/role fit will give the best results in the long runEveryday I strive to look at the problems in front of me objectively through First-principles and, in my humble opinion, that’s what makes me a good fit for product & strategy roles.Reach out to me (+91-8758235708 or p15saurabhp@iima.ac.in) if you want to discuss emerging opportunities in Tech and creating products. As they say, the best is yet to come.Outside of work, I can be found handling my dog’s tantrums, going on night drives and playing PC games.
