# Harikrishnan Baskar on Tal

## Headline

Product @ Meesho \| NIT Trichy

## About

I'm a Product Manager with 4\+ years of experience in monetization and discovery products in consumer internet, currently at Meesho\. I've worked across ranking, ads, and rewards, taking ideas from early validation to systems running at scale, with a combined revenue impact of close to ₹420Mn annually\. I've built a fairly wide range of products: discovery formats like reels and reward coupons, display ad constructs, self\-serve reporting tools for advertisers, and ranking systems for both reels and prepaid users\. This range has meant working closely with tech, data science, design, and business teams on a regular basis to achieve the team's goals\. I'm hands\-on with SQL, comfortable owning a problem from a rough hypothesis through to a shipped, measurable outcome, and equally at ease building something new or improving something that already exists\.
