About

Hey, I’m Aniket. I’ve spent the last 10+ years making sense of chaos and turning half-baked ideas, vague goals, and “we should build this” energy into actual products people use. At Zalando, I built internal tools and platforms that made life easier for 300 internal users, over 200 Zalando partners, and 30 million daily active users. Post-Zalando, I went rogue: tried freelancing, launched a few side hustles (coaching PMs, built a PM resume writing service and helped founders on LinkedIn with ghostwritten content and strategy), and learned a lot about what works and what definitely doesn’t. Some months, I shipped features. Other months, I tested ideas, scrapped them, and started again. It has been a tough journey but made me sharper and a thoughtful builder. Over the past few months, I have focused on AI-powered discovery phase. I run 14-day AI-powered discovery sprints that help SaaS/consumer businesses validate ideas before they invest months building them. Instead of long roadmaps, opinions, or guesswork, I use a mix of fast interviews, AI-powered synthesis, and rapid prototyping using AI tools to identify what truly matters to users. If you think I can help you, feel free to buzz.
