Darshan D. - Product Manager — Product Manager
As a Product Manager with 5+ Years of experience, MBA from IIM Mumbai and a foundation in computer engineering, I architect and scale high-impact technology platforms that sit at the nexus of AI, Fintech, and E-commerce. My passion is translating complex market needs into elegant, data-driven product strategies that not only delight users but also unlock significant, measurable business value. My current focus at Edelweiss Life is leading the charge on our "Payments-as-a-Service" platform. I own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from strategic vision to agile execution. By redesigning the core payments journey and digitizing onboarding, I've scaled the platform to process over 7B+ in Total Processed Volume, effectively doubling our user base and increasing customer retention by 30%. I believe deeply in leveraging AI for tangible results; I engineered a Generative AI-powered chatbot that slashed human intervention in customer service by 50% and built a payments analytics function from the ground up that uncovered over ₹500M in new recurring revenue. This hands-on product execution is built on a bedrock of rigorous strategic thinking, honed at world-class companies like The Coca-Cola Company and OnePlus. At Coca-Cola, I developed algorithmic supply chain models that uncovered over $1M in new revenue opportunities and saved thousands of man-hours. At OnePlus, I crafted go-to-market (GTM) strategies and multi-channel plans that drove feature adoption for over 10M+ users, solidifying my expertise in market entry, competitive analysis, and brand positioning. My core competencies include: 🔹 Product Strategy: Defining product vision, identifying strategic opportunities, and building actionable roadmaps that align with C-suite objectives. 🔹 Agile Execution & Leadership: Leading cross-functional teams (8+), managing backlogs, and fostering a culture of rapid iteration and delivery (from my time as a Product Owner at TCS). 🔹 Data-Driven & Financial Acumen: Utilizing quantitative analytics, A/B testing, and financial modeling to forecast impact, monitor KPIs, and ensure product-market fit. 🔹 Stakeholder Management: Partnering seamlessly with engineering, marketing, finance, and operations to drive consensus and deliver unified product experiences. I am driven by the challenge of solving complex problems and am looking to connect with innovators and leaders. If you are building transformative platforms in Fintech, applying AI to solve real-world challenges, or defining the next wave of digital commerce, I would welcome a conversation. Let's connect.
