About

Hi, I’m Alok — a Program Manager by background, and a Product Manager at heart. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve led complex, cross-functional projects in tech and digital transformation across companies like Mphasis, Publicis Sapient, Unisys ,Cognizant ,TCS and Start up ecosystem. I’ve worked closely with engineers, designers, business teams, and clients to turn messy problems into real solutions that work — on time, at scale, and with measurable results. Along the way, I realized my true passion lies not just in managing delivery, but in owning the “why” behind the work — understanding user needs, shaping product strategy, prioritizing ruthlessly, and iterating toward better outcomes. That’s why I’m transitioning into a Product management role — where I can bring together my delivery experience, user focus, and strategic thinking to build great products. What I bring: - Deep experience leading cross-functional teams in fast-moving environments across (UX/UI design, backend/frontend engineering, QA, and Product). - Strong instincts for prioritization, execution, and stakeholder alignment - A natural drive to solve real customer problems with scalable solutions - A love for collaboration, feedback, data, and continuous learning I’m currently exploring product roles where I can lead with ownership, empathy, and curiosity. If you’re building something meaningful — let’s talk.
