hello,
i'm hari
I began as a mechanical engineer in manufacturing, moved into fintech after my MBA, and have worked in product management since 2021. What keeps me here is the mix of data, user behaviour and bringing structure to complex problems.
Since then I've owned conversion, cart and delivery products for an online pharmacy serving millions of users a month, and I now work across AI, payments and hardware launches at a smart-ring startup. The work I enjoy most builds long-term habits for people, not one-off transactions.

out
What I do away from the desk.
at the
board
Two games. One I take more seriously than the other.
Chess · top 1%
The habit it built: evaluate the whole position before touching a piece.
Dota 2 · for fun
Five players, one plan, forty minutes. Good practice for calling plays under pressure.
