About

I'm a Product Manager with a specialization in the complex, exciting journey of bringing hardware to life. With my experience in the EV and Consumer Electronics domains, I focus on NPI, taking products from a napkin sketch to mass production. I bridge the gap between engineering constraints and business goals, translating user needs into requirements that actually get built. I don't just manage roadmaps; I align teams to ship reliable products quickly without getting stuck in analysis paralysis. Beyond the Office: I’m passionate about democratizing tech knowledge. I write about Product Management here on LinkedIn and curate content on design and innovation for 10,000+ followers on Instagram (@mrv8.in). Let’s connect to discuss building the next generation of mobility and consumer tech.

Apr 2021 – Jul 2023 · 2 yrs 3 mos

As Product Manager at Starya Mobility, I consistently demonstrated strengths integral to the role, driving cross-functional collaboration, translating user needs into actionable requirements, and aligning technical capabilities with strategic objectives. I leveraged prioritization frameworks such as MoSCoW and partnered with leadership to define clear KPIs, maintaining transparent communication across teams.
By deeply engaging with customer feedback and market signals, I iteratively refined the product roadmap and facilitated agile sprints that balanced rapid innovation with disciplined quality assurance. My work optimizing ERP systems improved operational scalability, while managing the Starya–Excedy Joint Venture highlighted my capabilities in stakeholder management, negotiation, and securing investment.
I also drew on my industrial engineering background to strengthen production readiness, improving line efficiency, refining process flows, and collaborating closely with manufacturing teams to ensure seamless DFM/DFA alignment. This blend of product ownership and production-level insight helped anchor decisions in both user value and operational feasibility.
Throughout, I emphasized a data-driven approach, fostered a culture of user-centered development, and communicated a clear product vision to teams and stakeholders.
