About

Welcome to my profile! I am Saurav, a mechanical engineer turned MBA professional having 4+ years of experience with a passion for strategy building, project management, and product management. I started my professional journey as a Design Engineer at L&T Technology Services and went on to work on business development, where I learned the importance of a customer-centric approach, quality management, project management, business proposal/project acquisition, and teamwork. As an MBA professional interested in Product Management, Strategy Consulting, and Digital Technology, I am committed to making a meaningful impact in the industry. With some experience in the customer journey, user experience, product development, and project management, I completed internships with Bosch and Cacti Global, creating go-to-market strategies for their products & Services. Additionally, my civic engagement internship allowed me to analyze social issues and their impact on business and society. I believe in continuous learning and improvement, and I am always eager to take up new challenges. Connect with me to discuss opportunities, and ideas or if you are seeking any guidance.
