About

12 years back, I graduated from an Engineering college and started my journey in the corporate world. I tried my hands on Software development and Quality assurance (both manual and automation testing) in organisations like Aricent, Adobe, and Grofers (now BlinkIt) before I found my interest in the profession of Product Management. Instead of doing an MBA, I preferred continuing my corporate experience and learning the skills of Product Management by reading (Medium, Books, Newsletters) and watching the Product Managers work style in Grofers from the sidelines. One day an opportunity came and I qualified for the role of an Associate Product Manager in Grofers which started my 7 years (many more to come) journey of Product management. In Grofers, I learned how execution works in a modern-day startup. There, I have worked with people at all levels of the organisation; from a delivery executive to the CEO and the investors. Life brought me to Microsoft 6.5 years back where I became a part of the team which was reimagining the experience of Microsoft Office on mobile and that led to the birth of the Microsoft Office mobile app. I am currently working as a Principal PM Manager in the Microsoft Designer team where we have the mission of 'Enabling visual design creation using the power of AI'. If not at work, I enjoy my time by trying different restaurants (Yeah, a big foodie) and write their reviews on Zomato (A small bit for the community), Watching movies, Reading about new trends, tools, and mental models. As a passionate advocate of growth, I'm continuously looking for ways to self-improve. I can be reached out at anandmohit6@gmail.com if you want to talk about technology, product management, or Food!
