About

I build products that ship, stabilize, and move revenue - not just roadmaps. Six years across enterprise SaaS, AI workflows, and marketplace systems. Two products built from zero to revenue as a founder. Currently open to Product Manager in India or global remote. What I have shipped and what moved: - At Sinch I built an AI-assisted Customer Data Platform that unified fragmented enterprise data and delivered 23 percent ROI uplift through precision targeting and event-driven automation. - At Nextech AR I recovered a platform from repeated availability failures, moved from manual bi-weekly deployments to CI/CD releases, and launched Boost Ads — a monetization product that added 25 to 30 percent incremental revenue on a Rs 50L monthly baseline. - At Purple Style Labs I led a cart migration from monolith to microservices under peak-load constraints, cut latency from 50 seconds to 1 second, and scaled daily revenue from Rs 70L to Rs 1Cr by prioritizing checkout reliability over new feature launches. - At Madhav Farm I built a farm-to-consumer marketplace from zero under zero working capital — designed the supply-demand pricing model, eliminated intermediary margin distortion, and reached Rs 8L GMV with an 8-member team over 3 years. - At RaiTalk I scoped and shipped a production GenAI MVP in 2 weeks, deployed a reasoning model with live validation, and observed 20 percent returning sessions in the early cohort without paid acquisition. Where I am strongest: platform reliability under infrastructure constraints, monetization layer design, marketplace liquidity systems, and AI workflow orchestration. Reach out if you are hiring a PM who makes real tradeoffs and ships things that move numbers. rajendrakawale101@gmail.com | https://www.rajkawale.com/

  • Built and owned an LLM-powered conversational AI product end to end, from problem discovery to live MVP, focused on clarity-first chat UX and adaptive cognitive framing.
  • What I built and owned (0→1):
  • Scoped and shipped a production GenAI MVP in 2 weeks by prioritizing latency and token efficiency over feature breadth before validating further investment.
  • Deployed DeepSeek R3 reasoning model with full API orchestration under cost and response-time constraints, achieving 86/100 performance score with LCP 1.9 seconds.
  • Observed 20 percent returning sessions in early cohort without paid acquisition, confirming product retention before expanding scope.
  • Deferred fine-tuning roadmap until behavioral usage patterns stabilized, choosing validation speed over model complexity.
  • Product is live. Currently in a pause phase while I focus on securing a full-time PM role. Open to discussing product decisions, architecture, and learnings from the build.
