Yash Khanapure — Product Manager

I’m a Product Manager who likes building things that actually get used at scale. Right now at Okta, I work on core platform components for Okta Verify across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux. My focus is on making identity seamless, secure, and consistent across platforms. I recently led the macOS distribution overhaul and helped enable Linux support, both high impact problems that required clear prioritization and tradeoffs. Before this, at Microsoft, I worked on Outlook Add-ins and Teams Admin experiences. I have built products from zero to one, including encryption for add-ins, and scaled platforms to 40M+ users. I also drove a 5x increase in mobile adoption by improving how add-ins integrate and activate. A lot of my work involved working closely with external partners and developers to make the platform easier to build on while keeping the end-user experience clean. I started my career as an engineer at BlackRock, building internal tools used by thousands of employees. That experience shaped how I think about systems, performance, and scalability. I hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, where I was actively involved in the PM and tech community, and a B.Tech in Computer Science from VIT Vellore. What I care about • Solving ambiguous problems that do not come with clear answers • Building platforms that scale across users, teams, and ecosystems • Talking to users and partners to understand what actually matters • Using data to guide decisions while relying on product judgment when needed Recently, I have been spending more time exploring how AI can improve everyday productivity tools in a meaningful way.
