PRODUCT MANAGER · PRODUCT OWNER · BUSINESS OPERATIONS STRATEGIST

Product decisions built on delivery reality, not just a roadmap slide.

Three years acting as Product Owner and Business Analyst across enterprise SaaS, manufacturing tech, and full-stack engineering — writing the PRDs, running the backlog, and sitting close enough to production and OEM clients like Continental, Samsung, and Tata Electronics to know when a requirement won't survive contact with delivery.

PRODUCT OWNERSHIP IN PRACTICE

What I actually do in the role

Requirements → Requirements Docs

Run elicitation sessions with engineering, quality, and client teams; translate field and stakeholder needs into structured PRDs, functional specs, and acceptance criteria.

Backlog & Roadmap Ownership

Own feature prioritisation using MoSCoW, groom the backlog with cross-functional teams, and keep the roadmap honest against what production can actually hold.

Delivery Governance

Run sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives; track velocity and SLA compliance, and close the loop between what shipped and what the KPI dashboard says happened.

Stakeholder & Client Ownership

Act as primary product liaison for OEM clients — aligning expectations, resolving issues, and turning client friction into backlog items instead of escalations.

Full Stack Engineering Intern — Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
FEB 2022 — NOV 2023
Gathered HR and finance business requirements and translated them into system specs and user stories ahead of build for an enterprise payroll platform — where I first learned that product requirements and engineering constraints are usually the same conversation.
