Rishab Saini — Co-Founder
Building Products That Scale Impact! I'm a Product Manager at Finvu AA (India's second-largest Account Aggregator), scaling credit access and financial inclusion for millions of Indians. My journey spans 4+ years across fintech, regulatory tech, and building my own startup - each chapter teaching me that the best products emerge at the intersection of technical rigour, customer empathy, and business strategy. My Journey: - At Deutsche Bank (2021-25), I progressed from Analyst to Associate Engineer, building an in-house regulatory reporting solution. Recognized with multiple excellence awards. - Co-founded Projectivity (2023-25), a B2B SaaS platform for media production agencies. We built out the MVP, but couldn't scale. The shutdown taught me a critical lesson: customer relationships, not code, are the moat. We'd prioritized perfection over listening. - Now (2025-Present), at my current product role at Finvu AA, I apply these lessons. I validate constantly via customer conversations, on-ground field research, and direct engagement with stakeholders. I work with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Design, Legal, and Sales), shipping multiple features that scale and contribute to market share growth. Beyond the Product: I created "Beyond the Title," a podcast series where I interview CXOs about their journeys and leadership philosophies. Publishing full-length episodes and short-form videos, I've discovered that the best leaders are perpetual students - they absorb wisdom from everyone, everywhere. My Core Competencies: 1. Product Strategy & End-to-End Execution (Ideation → GTM). 2. Cross-Functional Leadership (Influence without direct authority). 3. Regulatory Navigation & Compliance. 4. Stakeholder Management at Scale. 5. Technical Acumen (4 years engineering background). What Drives Me? I'm obsessed with one question: How do we democratize financial access for India's millions of underserved individuals? Not through charity, but through products so intuitive that credit access becomes as natural as using social media in today's world.
