Vishakh GR

I am a Project Manager with two years of experience in SaaS and IT project delivery, release management, and PMO functions. My career so far has centered around improving project efficiency, ensuring smooth cross-functional collaboration, and enabling leadership with clear data-driven insights.

At Reliance Jio, I managed sprint planning, UAT cycles, and release deployments for Jiomart B2B projects, where I improved deployment success rates by ~20% and reduced delays by ~25% through stakeholder alignment and Azure DevOps reporting. I also implemented Agile delivery metrics like velocity, cycle time, and scope churn, which improved planning accuracy by ~30%. Earlier, I started my career in quality assurance, executing SIT and UAT for a user base of 100M+, which built my foundation in structured testing, defect management, and stable release cycles.

At Viliyo, a SaaS startup, I expanded my role into product operations and coordination. I authored BRDs, contributed to feature roadmaps, created GTM strategies, and built KPI dashboards that improved visibility and cut down manual reporting hours. I also led creative initiatives like advertisement planning and sonic branding, reflecting my ability to adapt and deliver across multiple domains in a startup setting.

What drives me is the opportunity to act as a bridge between technical teams, business stakeholders, and clients — ensuring clarity of scope, timely delivery, and value creation. I am especially interested in SaaS, AI/ML-driven products, and sustainability-focused technologies, as I believe these sectors combine innovation with meaningful long-term impact.

Outside of work, I enjoy studying project management methodologies (PMP, Agile, Lean Startup) and experimenting with dashboarding tools like Power BI and Excel to create practical solutions for better reporting. I am passionate about building processes that scale, fostering team alignment, and delivering outcomes that make a measurable difference.
