Akhila Varghese — Co-Founder
Very keen on tech trends and the world around me 🌍 I’m a Product Manager passionate about building SaaS products that make onboarding and adoption effortless. With a background in Computer Science and a knack for understanding user context, I bridge design, engineering, and business strategy to ship measurable outcomes —> not just features. I work closely with customers/ end users to understand their goals and context, create wireframes, run usability tests, and test assumptions with real users before development, collaborating with design and engineering teams to deliver effective front-end solutions. What drives me: Problem-first thinking --> Getting into the nitty-gritty of user context before jumping to solutions Impact over activity --> Shipping outcomes that move metrics, not just features that check boxes Technical fluency --> Computer Science background means I speak engineering and can work in the grey areas between product and tech Organised execution --> I prioritise ruthlessly: user needs > team/business goals > personal preferences Resilience --> I see ideas through, even when they get messy Always learning, Always shipping with my team!!!!
