Associate Product Manager · Bengaluru

I learned product by shipping.

I am Sai Ravi Kiran, a hands-on product builder based in India. I have taken eight consumer products from an observed problem to a live release across web, Android, and Windows, including learning products for students and AI-assisted creation tools.

Working with limited resources made product ownership practical, not theoretical. I identify the user need, study alternatives, define a focused first version, shape the experience, coordinate delivery, launch, and use feedback to decide what deserves attention next. I care about the signals behind adoption—activation, frequency, engagement, retention, and conversion.

What I bring

• User research and problem discovery
• Product definition and prioritisation
• UX flows and rapid prototyping
• Consumer education product thinking
• AI-assisted product experiences
• Cross-functional launch execution
• Engagement and retention thinking
• Analytics and feedback-led iteration

Why this next step?

I want to bring the ownership I developed as a founder into a strong product team solving a meaningful consumer problem at scale. Education is especially motivating to me: ExploreChemistra, GitaShlokas, MockTestsCreator, CBSEMockTests, and AIQuizCraft taught me to make dense content easier to understand, practise, and return to. I am at my best close to users, design, engineering, and the numbers.
