About me

I’m a strategic and data-driven Product Owner with experience building scalable platforms across AI search, e-commerce, and advanced analytics. I’ve partnered directly with Fortune 100 and 500 organizations, translating complex requirements into clear product direction while aligning engineering, analytics, and executive stakeholders. My focus is delivering resilient, intuitive solutions that enhance user experience, streamline operations, and drive enterprise-grade growth.

I operate at the intersection of technical strategy and commercial value, leveraging data to optimize performance, unlock new revenue opportunities, and strengthen platform reliability. Known for creating clarity in ambiguity, I collaborate across functions and continuously iterate for measurable business impact. My goal is to ship high-quality products that improve retention, enhance platform intelligence, and consistently exceed expectations in demanding environments.

Great products aren’t built by chance. They are built through clarity, data, and relentless iteration.

    Ankit & I have worked together as one team at Yellow.ai. He is an amazingly productive person & is a multi-skilled person with vast knowledge. He was an exceptional at his work. I have personally witnessed his long-term development, and he continuously strives to stay at the forefront of technology & acquires new skills to stay current.

    Ankit brings a remarkable blend of technical acumen and human approach. He consistently tackled complex challenges without losing sight of the bigger picture, and whenever the team was under pressure, his calm yet proactive nature helped steer us back on course. For example, during the feed freshness project, he took ownership of improving it, navigated difficult requirements, and delivered ahead of schedule demonstrating not just competence, but leadership and accountability.

    Beyond his technical skills, what impressed me most is his work ethic and reliability. He is always ready to help colleagues, share knowledge, and contribute even outside his core responsibilities. His positive attitude and clear communication helped build team morale and made collaboration seamless.

    I had the pleasure of working with Ankit at Adeptmind, where we collaborated on a few projects in the Data Team. Ankit was always humble, kind, and open to listening, which made working with him really easy and enjoyable.

    He is someone who loves to interact, share ideas, and take initiative whenever there is an opportunity to help or improve things. You can always rely on him to deliver quality work with care and consistency.

    What I appreciate most about Ankit is how friendly and approachable he is. He brings positive energy to every team he is part of. It has been great working with him, and I would be happy to do so again in the future.
