I oversaw all facets of the business, exited in January 2023.

As a hiring manager, I experienced firsthand the pain of inefficient hiring. Companies struggle to find and assess the right talent, while qualified candidates face lengthy job searches. This led me to these key insights:
1. Talent discovery is broken.
2. Assessing skills accurately is a major hurdle.
3. Bridging the industry skill gap is essential.
Determined to solve these problems, I founded profilr.in and productacademy.in. We focused initially on Product Management and Analytics, offering a SaaS platform to streamline talent discovery and assessment, and an innovative ed-tech model to address skill development. Here's what we achieved:
1. Launched and scaled a platform to connect aspiring APMs with fulfilling job opportunities, impacting 300+ careers and reducing time-to-hire for 50+ companies, including Reliance and India Today.
2. Drove all aspects of the business: product vision, strategic partnerships, team building, community development, and growth marketing.
3. Recruited a cross-functional team of 10+ entrepreneurs and interns to spearhead operations.
4. Developed an innovative ed-tech model in collaboration with 5 SPMs from FAANG companies, training 60+ candidates across 5 cohorts.
5. Established a robust LinkedIn presence with 5.5K organic followers through targeted content and campaigns.
Despite the challenging market conditions of late 2022, which led to the difficult decision to shut down operations in early 2023, I gained invaluable experience in startup leadership. This journey fueled my passion for solving real-world problems and driving growth in dynamic environments.
