Shakti Chittara — Product Manager
I have 14 years of quality experience in leading, managing and developing products in mobile and web technologies with special focus on Growth & Ecommerce. In the current role as Product Lead at Expedia group I am pursuing a strategy for consolidation of Retail Partnerships (aka Affiliates) across all different brands within Expedia group. In recent past I have worked in driving adoption of mobile app among mobile web users, in addition to managing shared components such as site navigation & search experience. Before that, with Stayz, I drove adoption and scaling of their e-commerce platform by moving all properties to 100% online bookable within a year followed by migrating the technological platform to the global Vrbo platform. Earlier with MakeMyTrip, India (Nasdaq: MMYT), I led their online payments division. In addition, I also managed the ‘Discounting and Promotions’, ‘Route Planning’ and 'Closed Wallet' platforms for the organization. My earlier experiences as a software developer at Samsung and Nokia helped me immensely in building a strong foundation in mobile technology. I have earned a Masters in Technology along with a Masters in Business Administration, both from top ranked institutions in India. Specific interests: Product management, Product Development, Leadership, Product strategy, Project Management, Business Strategy and Consulting, Agile Scrum Development, General Management, Web Analytics, Mobile Development, User Experience, Prototyping, Wireframing, Internet products, Product Launch, MVP design.
