Product and strategy manager at Honda R&D who secured approval for two new product pipelines through market analysis and roadmap recommendations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Honda R&D (India) Private Limited, I analyze markets and cohorts for new two-wheeler models, including EV and ICE products. My positioning briefs and roadmap recommendations secured management approval for two new product pipelines.
I implemented A/B testing for navigation, EV charging, and UI/UX across 700+ users in four cities, partnering with software teams to inform product decisions and increase feature adoption. I also designed a B2B go-to-market strategy and partnership model for swappable EV charging infrastructure.
Earlier, I managed market research at Global Market Insight, where I developed an internal automation tool that accelerated data search and processing by 15%. I’m looking to own product vision, roadmaps, and launches in communications and data products.
