Working on building great mobile first products for the logistics tech space in India. Redefining how the actors in the domain interact with technology for mutual benefit of the platform and users.Data driven decisions towards solving key stakeholder problems with a keen sense of user empathy and user experience. Always sought to solve problems for the end user and not the stakeholders in between who assumed problems that were passed on during casual conversation. Discerning that is probably the most crucial piece to be handled when in a B2B environment but also in the B2C realm. Saw success (albeit small in quantity, loud in quality) with the launch of a driver app that was scaled to over 2000+ truck drivers across India through our channel partners in about three months. Adoption was inherently tough owing to the low wages of the truck drivers and not have access to a smartphone in a day where almost everyone has one. We had to convince several key stakeholders about their indirect benefit in the process of procuring the smartphones for their respective drivers.
