Anuj Piplani — Product Manager
From the classrooms of BITS Pilani, one of India’s premier institutes, I embarked on a journey that took me far beyond the realms of electronics and instrumentation. As a student, I realized early on that my true calling lay not just in engineering but in the dynamic world of finance, a natural inclination given my business family background. This insight led me to pursue a minor in Finance, and an internship at Credit Suisse, one of the world’s largest investment banks, provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. Meanwhile, I tackled and cleared two levels of the CFA, setting a strong foundation for my future in finance. Upon completing my engineering degree, I transitioned into the world of pharma consulting with ZS Associates and Novartis. Here, I had the opportunity to contribute to high-impact consulting projects, applying analytical skills to solve complex business problems in the pharmaceutical sector. This role honed my strategic thinking and client management abilities, preparing me for future challenges. Driven by a desire to explore product management, I joined American Express. As a Product Manager, I immersed myself in developing and managing innovative products, blending customer insights with strategic vision to drive growth and deliver exceptional value. This role allowed me to harness creativity and data-driven decision-making to enhance customer experiences. I also completed PRODUCT MANAGEMENT Certification from ISB to understand the nitty gritty aspects of product management. Most recently, my passion for data led me to Novartis, where I took on the role of Analytical Manager in Data Governance. In this position, I am at the forefront of managing data integrity and ensuring robust governance practices, essential in today's data-centric world. My diverse experiences across engineering, finance, consulting, product management, and data governance have shaped me into a versatile professional. As someone who has explored multiple domains, I believe that being a "jack of all trades" allows me to weave rich stories and provide unique insights drawn from a wide array of experiences. This diverse journey not only broadens my perspective but also equips me with a wealth of knowledge to share and leverage in any professional setting.
