Arun Nandewal — Product Manager

I build large-scale financial and AI-powered systems. At Microsoft, I work on the $8.2B Partner Incentives platform, managing systems that process 4.5M+ daily payables across the global partner ecosystem. Also, responsible for Microsoft Seller Incentives. My work sits at the intersection of financial infrastructure, AI systems and product strategy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outside Microsoft, I focus on democratizing product management knowledge. I help aspiring product managers in my limited capacity with - • Free PM & AI-PM mock interviews (100+ sessions) • AI PM frameworks, prompts, and tools that make you 100X PMs. • Focused on building a community of product managers helping each other grow and learn together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My belief: The gap between a great PM and an average one isn’t talent — it’s access to the right knowledge at the right time. I try to close that gap through frameworks, mock interviews, and shared learning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Educational Background: * MBA — IIM Ahmedabad * B.Tech CS — NIT Karnataka Some career highlights include - -- I co-authored a Product Management preparation guide at IIM Ahmedabad, covered by Times of India. -- Featured product releases in Google I/O 2017 and Microsoft Ignite 2025. -- Selected for 2020 MBA Global Summit; could not attend due to Covid lockdown. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're an aspiring PM — follow for AI PM frameworks and mock interview insights. If you're building AI products — happy to exchange practitioner perspectives. Open to speaking, advisory conversations, and discussions with AI product leaders.
