@arjoontalukdar
AI-native product leader turning broken early-stage products into validated, scalable growth platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI-native product leader with 20+ years transforming early-stage and broken products into validated, high-growth platforms across HealthTech, EdTech, FinTech, and Enterprise. I consistently turn ambiguity into execution—building 0→1 products while owning the full lifecycle from discovery to monetization.
In my recent roles, I’ve driven measurable product-led growth (PLG) through cross-functional squads and relentless experimentation. At Pulse by Fierce, I led growth hacking efforts that increased a pre-AI wellness app from <500 users to 10K+ users in 13 months—an outcome described as a 20x growth.
My work also translates strategy into user impact: at ALX Africa, I cut dropout from 70%→30% and enabled 70K+ graduations and 30K+ placements. I’m currently leading Slabwise from non-functional Business Intelligence screens to a market-ready AI-native fabrication platform in 90 days.
I’m recognized for this approach—winning the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards and earning the 2020 ATP Judge’s Success Award. I bring a practical AI toolkit and product discipline, from discovery and rapid prototyping to funnel management, conversion optimization, and scalable monetization roadmaps.
