About

I'm a Product Manager with 5+ years of experience across travel-tech & consumer fintech — combining 3 years in product management with 2 years in analytics. I specialize in building 0→1 products, scaling user bases, and driving improvements in core metrics through user-first, data-driven execution. At Scapia, I built and scaled a 0→1 travel booking platform within a consumer fintech app, enabling users to redeem credit card points and direct payments for flights. Before that, I drove feed engagement at Apna, India's leading jobs and community platform, improving user retention through content and infrastructure upgrades. I began my career at Udaan in business analytics, sharpening my skills in stakeholder management, data-driven decision-making, and agile experimentation — a foundation that now strongly complements my product approach. In 2024, I took a purposeful career break to reset and grow — completing a mountaineering course, a Vipassana meditation retreat, and a 4-month solo journey across Latin America. This experience deepened my resilience, empathy, and adaptability in unfamiliar environments — qualities that now shape my product thinking and leadership style. I'm currently excited to build intuitive, high-impact products across B2C environment. --- I also offer 1:1 consultations for professionals navigating: → Career transitions & breaks → PM/analytics career strategy → Product strategy & roadmap reviews → Resume/interview prep Book a call: https://topmate.io/anchit_ahuja/
