Product Manager @ Varaha
About
Product Manager at Varaha with a background in entrepreneurship and working with early-stage startups and founders. I consider myself a generalist due to my adaptability, rapid learning skills, and keen understanding of diverse industries. I enjoy the roles that demand a dynamic, solution-oriented approach. I started early at the age of 16, with a vegetable delivery business and later ventured into dropshipping e-commerce, achieving a GMV of 500K INR with Hayari India. Failed to run a food business but got invaluable insights into teamwork and resource optimization. I founded SimplSo, focusing on e-commerce and Shopify development in the APAC region. I worked with National Entrepreneurship Network - Wadhwani Foundation, impacting 3000+ students and 500+ startups. Engaged with notable venture capital funds/investors and startup ecosystem stakeholders across India. Founded Academix to address the gap between academic education and practical needs, impacting 2000+ students and getting recognition in media journals. Supported and funded by leading ecosystem players like CIIE.CO - IIM Ahmedabad, GUSEC, and AIC-GUSEC. My role at CultureX, involved product building for initial MVPs to raise funds, team-scaling, and leading strategic operations post-fundraise. At Sunstone, I was primarily responsible for the P&L of PG Programs, implementing targeted strategies for driving sales & conversion, campus partnerships & onboarding, and student experience.
