Tech-to-Product builder. Scaled a B2B SaaS ERP/LMS to 40k+ users & 100+ schools. Seeking remote APM/Jr PM roles to deliver scalable software.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Product Manager specialising in B2B SaaS and the digitisation of complex user workflows.
Recently, I drove the 0-to-1 development of Kaksha.live, an early-stage ERP and LMS startup. By translating stakeholder feedback into actionable requirements, I owned the product roadmap that scaled the platform to serve over 100 institutions and 40,000+ active users. I spearheaded the launch of end-to-end web and mobile apps that streamlined core operations, including admissions, payroll, fee management, and inventory.
Having successfully navigated the fast-paced, unstructured environment of an early-stage startup, I am now actively seeking remote Associate Product Manager or Junior PM roles at mid-stage startups or established companies. Because I transitioned from a technical background, I seamlessly bridge the gap between business needs and engineering execution. My goal is to bring this edge, along with my scrappy 0-to-1 experience, to a mature Agile team where I can refine my product craft and build scalable solutions within a structured environment.
