Bhishm Tahiliani — Co-Founder
I design learning experiences and capability-building programs via products at the intersection of technology, business, and leadership development. My work focuses on translating complex ideas—whether in AI, finance, or product strategy—into structured learning systems that help individuals and organisations make better decisions and perform at scale. Rather than focusing only on tools or theory, I focus on how knowledge actually translates into real-world capability: how professionals learn, how decision frameworks evolve, and how organisations build feedback, accountability, and continuous learning into their systems. I’m particularly interested in designing scalable learning ecosystems that combine instructional design, technology, and data-driven insights to help leaders navigate complex and evolving environments. 🎓 Background that compounds 1. IIT Mandi. Mechanical Engineering. Top 3 in the branch and recipient of the MCM scholarship 2. Executive MBA. IIM Kozhikode. 3. Strong fundamentals in Product Development, Learning and development, Curriculum Design, engineering, finance, and strategy. Applied, not theoretical. 🚀 What I’ve actually done 1. Worked in technical marketing at BPCL. Bridged deep engineering with client and commercial outcomes. 2. Built and scaled an ed-tech venture from zero. Owned curriculum, P&L, growth, and sales. 3. Led content and education at scale. 15K+ subscribers and over 3 million views on “The Layman Way”, breaking down finance, strategy, and business thinking for mass audiences. 4. Gained global exposure through a student exchange program at TU Munich, Germany. Learned how markets, culture, and execution differ outside India. 🧠 How I think 1. Outcomes over outputs. 2. Systems over features. 3. Decision quality over dashboards. 4. Long-term leverage over short-term hacks. 💼 Where I add the most value 1. AI-led product strategy 2. Business and financial analysis 3. Founder’s Office and zero-to-one execution 4. Go-to-market and technical storytelling 5. Building feedback loops for scale and control 6. Building products that inspire generations 7. Learning and Development 8. Curriculum Design and Program Management 9. Leadership development If you’re building or scaling a product where AI, finance, and real business impact collide, we should talk. 📩 bhishm17f@iimk.edu.in 🌐 www.thelaymanway.in Follow, if you care about how AI actually changes product leadership, not just how good the demo looks.
