About

Hi, I’m Nikita Kodnani — a results-driven Senior Product Manager with 10+ years of experience in e-commerce across B2B/B2C demand, growth, and supply chain. I’ve led 6–8 PMs, built 0→1 products, and scaled high-impact initiatives end-to-end. At Meesho, I scaled the grocery business 20x through growth, supply chain, and seller initiatives, and led the Pricing charter to drive a 15% annual price drop via smart price recommendation tools. Previously, at Increff, I built B2B SaaS tools for inventory optimization (2–3x sales velocity), and at Affine, delivered pricing, marketing, and forecasting solutions.
