About
"Why does this exist?" That's the question I've been asking about everything since childhood. Now I get paid to ask it about digital products, and honestly, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Hi, I'm Aakash Rohilla, a product manager by day and a dreamer by night. I believe the best products come from relentless curiosity about human behaviour, not just data. Turns out, that annoying habit of questioning everything is exactly what product management needed. My approach? Always curious about the 'Why, What and How' of everything and now I'm part of the very process that answers these questions for thousands of users. Over the years, this philosophy has led to some pretty satisfying wins: 🎯 Streamlined candidate screening with smart questions, increasing feature adoption and saving recruiters hours of manual filtering 📈 Boosted organic traffic by questioning "what if content creation didn't suck?" 🚀 Drove more quality internships by asking "what if stipends weren't just random numbers?" 💰 Increased recurring revenue by wondering "what makes users actually want to pay again?" ⚡ Reduced manual workload by asking "why do we do this manually?" 🤖 Built micro-products using AI that work like Jarvis for Iron Man, making my life easier! I'm skilled in building digital products with the perfect balance of user needs and business goals, streamlining workflows, and getting cross-functional teams to actually work together (harder than it sounds!). Outside the world of roadmaps and aligning stakeholders, I'm either planning elaborate travel itineraries (I research destinations like I research user behaviour, obsessively), staying up late reading about AI breakthroughs, or trying to explain to my family what I actually do. They still call me an engineer, but hey, "I make apps better" IS a real job! 😄 One such very personal project for my utility: https://wtfix.netlify.app/ Let's connect! I love swapping stories about product discoveries, travel insights, or why the most important questions start with "what if?" Always up for chai and conversations about building products that actually matter! ☕
