Manas Gangwani
@manas-gangwani
Product manager and founding PM specializing in AI 0→1 products, owning product, growth, and technical quality end-to-end.
What I'm looking for
I’m a product manager and founding PM with ~7 years of 0→1 experience across AI, ed-tech, and gaming. I’m comfortable being the only product owner—owning product, growth, and technical quality at the same time, with the breadth a founding PM needs when there’s no one else to hand off to.
At Outscal, I’ve been the sole product owner across two distinct product phases working directly with the founder.
In Phase 2 (2025–Apr 2026), I was building an AI-powered animated explainer video platform that generates code-based videos from text scripts via a Director → Designer → Video Coder multi-agent pipeline using Claude Code and Remotion (React/TSX), with quality ownership for the non-deterministic layer—prompt and example engineering, model selection experiments, and iterative debugging of failure modes across agents.
In Phase 1 (2021–2025), I led discovery and iteration across multiple models and shipped offerings including a free program, recruitment service, job portal, jobs-to-courses funnel, and subscriptions. I scaled the job portal from 0 to 140,000 MAU and grew a resources hub to 20,000 MAU, launched subscriptions (free trials from 0 to 40/day within three months), and ran Google Ads (Search + Demand Gen) while personally closing international sales for US/EU entry—then reduced content production time from ~one month to two days by integrating AI into the course creation pipeline.
