About

I build financial infrastructure at scale. At Aakash — India's largest test-prep company — I own the entire fee management stack: ₹500Cr+ in annual collections, 400+ branches, 300K+ students. My work sits at the intersection of complex B2B workflows and high-stakes consumer moments. A refund delayed by a day isn't a metric — it's a family waiting on money they need back. What I've shipped at Aakash: ▸ Automated 250K+ refund requests/year with zero manual intervention — cut ops workload by 90% ▸ Consolidated 4 refund types into a unified workflow — 98% first-time approval rate ▸ Accelerated approval turnaround by 90% via a 2-level dynamic approval matrix ▸ Rolled out 3+ financial modules PAN-India across 4 phases — 100% on-time ▸ Cut design-to-dev cycle by 80% using AI prototyping Before Aakash, at Danamojo (India's first NGO payments platform), I drove a 70% rise in NGO acquisition and increased recurring donations by 18% — managing reconciliation across 10K+ subscriptions. At CredAble ($200M working capital platform), I was graded Outstanding Achiever — Top 3% of 250+ — shipping features that scaled to 100K+ concurrent users. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Beyond the day job: 🏆 Rank 1/300 — NextLeap PM Fellowship 🏆 Rank 1/20 — Rethink Systems Productathon 🏆 Rank 1/17 — Aakash Internal Hackathon ⭐ Top 1% on Topmate — 45+ resume reviews, featured on Times Square billboard ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm actively exploring PM roles in B2B SaaS, Fintech, or Consumer Tech at high-growth companies. 📩 aryanpasricha02@gmail.com
