Rishabh Gaur — Product Manager
TL;DR: Senior Product Manager specializing in acquisition, onboarding, and retention across EdTech, Healthcare, and Platform Products. 6+ years turning user journey optimization into measurable business growth and product-market fit. The Longer Version: I've spent the last 6 years focused on the three moments that make or break every product: how users discover you (acquisition), their first experience (onboarding), and why they stick around (retention). My journey began as a Technical Architect at Microsoft Technology Center, where I learned that great technology means nothing if users can't figure out how to adopt it successfully. This realization led me to influence over $100M in revenue growth by focusing not on what we could build, but on how enterprises would actually implement and scale our solutions across their organizations. Moving into Product Management, I worked with Microsoft's Industry Clouds team, building virtual consultation features for Microsoft Teams. This wasn't just about adding healthcare functionality; it was about understanding how hospitals would integrate new workflows into existing care delivery systems. At Circles, I dove deep into acquisition and onboarding optimization for their telco e-commerce platform. Here, I learned that customer lifetime value is determined in the first five minutes of interaction. We improved retention by 15% by redesigning the initial user journey to demonstrate value before asking for effort. The lesson: great onboarding isn't about showing features; it's about proving your product can solve the user's most pressing problem. At GoGuardian, I lead the AI strategy and build intelligent solutions for retention and engagement optimization across the Pear Assessment and broader Pear Deck ecosystem. I'm building AI capabilities that target a 40% reduction in administrative tasks—not through feature bloat, but by understanding exactly which workflow interruptions cause the most friction and tackling them. What connects all this work is my belief that sustainable product growth comes from optimizing two core metrics: time-to-value (how quickly users see benefits) and engagement depth (how often they return). I'm also 11x Microsoft Certified across Azure, M365, and Dynamics 365—because great product decisions require understanding what's technically possible. If you're building something interesting in EdTech, Healthcare, or Platform products, I'd love to hear about the challenges you're solving. Feel free to reach out: I'm always up for talking strategy over coffee (virtual or otherwise).
