Chellappan Lakshmanan — Product Director

Engineer at heart. Product Manager by choice. Leader by experience. With over 20 years in the industry, I thrive at the intersection of user-centric design, business strategy, and technology. My career has been defined by a unique duality: I have managed high-stakes portfolios for global giants like Walmart, Microsoft, and Amazon, and I have built agile, record-breaking growth engines for startups like Licious and Myntra. Currently, as the Director of Products at Walmart, I spearhead the Accounts, Memberships, and Internationalization platforms. My focus is on driving growth and streamlining user experiences for millions of customers across Mexico, Canada, and beyond. Previously, I transformed the meat-buying category as Senior Director of Product Management at Licious, where I launched membership and omni-channel initiatives that contributed to record-breaking growth, built a rocket-ship driving product led growth at Myntra and reimagined MS Teams and Microsoft. Whether at a startup or a Fortune 500, my goal remains the same: identifying customer needs and building simple, aesthetically beautiful solutions that leave a smile on the consumer's face. Beyond the metrics and the roadmaps, I am deeply committed to the human side of product management. I believe in data-driven decision-making, but never at the expense of intuition and empathy. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of PMs and fostering a culture where experimentation is encouraged and continuous learning is the norm.
