About

Hi, I'm Harsh; part builder, part detective, part romantic (of the product kind). Over the last 6 years, I've built products across education, dating, and matrimony. They seem like very different industries, but to me they're all the same problem: helping people navigate high-stakes decisions through technology. I'm fascinated by human behavior. Why does a teenager choose Instagram over studying? What makes someone trust a stranger enough to start a conversation? Why do families still trust a local marriage broker over an app? Those questions are usually where my product work begins. I see product management as both a science and an art: rigorous enough to question every assumption through first-principles thinking, yet intuitive enough to understand people beyond the metrics. AI has become an integral part of how I think, build, and ship; not a replacement for judgment, but a force multiplier for it. I'm happiest turning messy human problems into elegant product systems.

Product manager II at Lokal, Oct 2025 - Present · 1 y, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Product Manager at Aisle, Jul 2024 - Oct 2025 · 1 yr 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, I work on the business of love — quite literally. At Aisle, I lead monetization, which means I spend my time figuring out how to make our premium offerings more valuable and more accessible to the right users. From experimenting with pricing models and trial plans to streamlining our subscription flow, I’ve been focused on improving the way people experience and pay for the app. I also worked on reducing fraud and improving match quality, so users see real faces and not red flags. It's a space where user intent really matters — and I enjoy solving for trust, value, and conversion in equal parts.

Product Manager at BYJU'S, Jul 2022 - Jul 2024 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, At Aakash-BYJU's, I worked on making online learning feel a little less lonely and a lot more engaging. I focused on features that kept students coming back — think quizzes, leaderboards, and streaks that rewarded consistency without feeling like school.

Associate Product Manager at BYJU'S, Jul 2020 - Jun 2022 · 2 yrs, On-site, This was a wild one. When the pandemic hit, we launched India’s first live online classes — and I got a front-row seat to what “rapid scale” really looks like. From setting up class formats to working with teachers, tech, and customer support, we went from idea to 40,000+ enrolled students in what felt like a blink.
