Arun Rajan — Product Manager
Hi, I’m Arun, Principal Product Manager at Ace Turtle, on a mission to supercharge retail technology with AI. With over 14 years of experience bridging business needs and technical solutions, I’ve learned that speed and clarity are everything. Today, I weave AI into every phase of my PM workflow, ideation, prototyping, prioritization, and stakeholder alignment to turn what used to take days into hours. What I do: • Build roadmaps that balance quick wins with long‑term platform bets • Prototype at scale with AI tools, shrinking cycles from days to hours • Align cross‑functional teams - Engineering, Design, Analytics & GTM, to ship enterprise solutions • Own outcomes: P&L metrics and stakeholder buy‑in via data‑backed storytelling Impact at Ace Turtle: • 4X faster prototyping: Slashed design‑to‑demo cycle from 4 days to 4 hours • 30% reduction in rework: AI‑powered user‑journey validations boosted development throughput • 100+ store rollout: Launched ML‑driven Sales Dashboards and retail‑ops features at scale • 15% productivity lift: Real‑time analytics surfaced actionable insights across outlets I lead the in‑store technology function, digitizing operations for brands like Lee, Wrangler, Dockers, and Toys'R'Us in India, and drive digital transformation across supply chain, logistics, e‑commerce, and omnichannel commerce. Off‑hours, you’ll find me on the football pitch, badminton court, working out, planning my next trip, or hanging out with my dogs. I’m always learning and iterating, both products and myself. Let’s connect!
