Shashank Hiremath

Hi, I’m Shashank. I’m a Aspiring Product Manager, Jack of many and master of Product and Growth, who believes every good product starts with two questions: 1. What’s the real problem? 2. And why on earth hasn’t anyone fixed this already? Right now, I’m working on Product & Growth Intern at Troopod an AI-powered CRO partner for D2C brands. In simple words: we help businesses turn “nice website visits” into “actual customers,” because traffic without conversions is basically just digital window shopping. My path here has been part engineering (VTU, Electronics & Computer Engineering), part startup bootcamp (Supertext.ai, Bleedingedge Technologies, LetsTransport, Stealth SaaS), and part founder chaos (Moonturtle.io). Along the way, I’ve built: AI chatbots that actually talk like humans (40% retention boost, fewer rage-quits). GTM strategies that shaved weeks off timelines (because “we’ll launch next sprint” is startup bingo at this point). Automation systems that scaled leads 4× without scaling caffeine intake to dangerous levels. But here’s the truth: I don’t measure success only in metrics. For me, product management is first principles with a human face. It’s about balancing data with empathy, strategy with execution, and spreadsheets with “will people even care?” I like solving problems that make people’s lives easier and if I can make them smile while doing it, even better. If you’re a fellow builder, product nerd, or just someone who enjoys debating whether AI will take our jobs or just our meetings let’s connect. Worst case: you leave with a story. Best case: we ship something meaningful 🌊
