Karan Gogna — Product Manager
TL;DR: Product Manager with 10+ years of experience across SaaS, Platforms, Data and AdTech. Currently leading a team of PMs and Product Analysts at Media.net to build scalable data and AI products. The Long Story I got my first taste of product management while building a startup during my MBA at ISB. Translating customer problems into wireframes, pitching to VCs, and launching an app from scratch showed me that product was more than a role; it was my calling. After starting my career as a software engineer at Siemens (Mentor Graphics), working on SaaS for chip design, I pursued my MBA to bridge the gap between tech and business. Post-ISB, I joined SplashLearn to lead its classroom product, improving onboarding for students and teachers - a crash course in building empathy for vastly different users. At Media.net, I’ve led multiple initiatives: Data Visualization Platform – enabled clients to analyze and act on insights faster Data Catalog – improved governance and data discovery across teams Data Engineering Platform – simplified how engineers and analysts manage large-scale data MLOps Platform – empowered teams to run AI workflows, train models, and optimize GPU usage Along the way, I’ve grown from IC to leading a team of 7, focusing on scaling both people and products. I believe the next decade belongs to AI-powered, data-driven platforms that don’t just manage information, but make decisions easier. That’s the kind of future I’m building toward.
