Product Manager | Energy Systems × AI for Grid Reliability | Ex-Turbine Design Engineer (8+ yrs) | ISB PM Cert | Immediate Joiner, Open to Relocate

About

I'm a Product Manager with 8+ years of hands-on engineering depth in power and energy systems — I've designed the hardware most PMs only get briefed on. At L&T Technology Services and TCS, I built and shipped turbine and power-electronics components for MHI and FIMER: reducing blade design cycle time from 24 to 4 man-hours, and driving $100K in savings through modular configuration and UDF implementation. That work taught me how engineering constraints actually shape a product roadmap In 2023, I completed a Product Management certificate at ISB Hyderabad and pivoted deliberately: since then I've been building independent product practice in the BESS and hybrid power space- running feasibility frameworks, market and competitor analyses, and PRDs as self-directed projects to sharpen the PM muscle end-to-end. I also write and publish "EnergyLens with Jai," where I turn dense energy-transition topics into content people actually act on-real practice in translating complexity into clear decisions, which is the core PM skill. I'm now looking for a full-time Product Manager or Product Owner role-ideally where energy systems, grid infrastructure, or industrial hardware meets product strategy. Immediate joiner. Background 🎓 ISB Hyderabad - Product Management 🎓 MIT Manipal-Mechanical Engineering 💼 Ex-TCS | Ex-L&T Technology Services 📍 Bangalore | Open to global & advisory opportunities If you're hiring a PM who can read a P&ID as easily as a PRD, let's talk. Let's connect if you're building products in climate tech, energy transition, or sustainable infrastructure.

Work experience

Independent Product Practice - Energy & BESS at Self-Employed, Dec 2023 - Present · 2 yrs 10 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Self-directed product management practice built post-ISB to apply PM frameworks to real energy-transition problems, with focus on BESS and hybrid power systems. Built feasibility and technical-assessment frameworks evaluating 10-15 decarbonization levers across power generation, transmission, and storage Developed 3-4 product strategy documents (problem statements, PRDs, roadmaps) simulating real go-to-market scenarios for BESS/hybrid power products Conducted 20+ market and competitor analyses across the Indian energy storage and renewables landscape to sharpen positioning and prioritization judgment Created "EnergyLens with Jai" — a content platform translating India's energy transition for a growing audience, exercising the same synthesis and communication skills required in PM stakeholder work Tracked and applied 10+ delivery/prioritization KPIs as a discipline, independent of a live team, to build product-ops rigor ahead of full-time PM work

Design Engineer consultant at Tata Consultancy Services, Feb 2022 - Nov 2023 · 1 yr 10 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Sr. Design engineer -Turbine detail design and development (Client- MHI, MHPS, Team size 08) • Manufacturing Process Innovation: Implemented master-modelling blade design (MBD) approach in Creo4.0 • Efficiency Improvement: Reduced blade detailed design execution time from 24 man-hours to4 man-hours • Component Lifecycle Management: Executed RCA and modular configuration creations, UDFs implementation saving $100K over 2 years • Technical Documentation: Created 2D pattern drawings by extracting surface data from 3D models • Sheet Metal & Casting Design: Developed complex turbine components with focus on manufacturability • Fluid Dynamics Application: Applied thermal and fluid flow principles in turbine blade design and optimization • Prototype Coordination: Managed prototype development cycles and FOT (First Off Tool) approval processes

Mechanical Design Engineer at L&T Technology Services Limited, Nov 2016 - Dec 2021 · 5 yrs 2 mos, Bengaluru Area, India, As a Product Design Engineer at LTTS, I specialized in turbine and inverter components, ensuring compliance with product requirements and industry standards: Turbine Blade Design: Managed 3D CAD models and 2D drawings for rotating and stationary turbine blades, using parametric relations to ensure design consistency. Dimensioning & GD&T: Assessed functional and manufacturing dimensions, created design templates, and adhered to GD&T standards to streamline processes and reduce execution time. Engineering Change Management: Led the update of 3D CAD models, assemblies, and drawings through effective ECM handling. Effort Estimation & Task Planning: As a Product Owner, planned component definitions, estimated effort hours, and ensured timely project delivery. Client Relations: Collaborated with a Japanese client on technical aspects, gaining valuable insights into their work culture and preferences. Project Coordination: Managed task tracking, data handling, and progress reporting to ensure project success. This experience has equipped me with the skills to transition into a Product Manager role, where I aim to leverage my engineering background to drive innovation and deliver value.
