About

Spent 6.5+ years doing that across consumer tech, e-commerce, fintech, and travel-tech. Mostly the first PM in the room • https://jayrajmakhar.com/ > At ShopOS, I built AI agents for e-commerce brands. > At Teleport, I joined when it was a napkin idea, built the product from scratch, took it from 0 to 1 to scale to exit acquired by StampMyVisa. > At Tickertape, built and ran growth product + experiments on consumer surfaces that moved real numbers. The thread through all of it: I'm drawn to growth problems, experimentation, and turning messy manual workflows into products that compound. I build fast. I use agents and AI tools to prototype and ship, and I write about product ideas, case studies, and growth thinking at https://jayrajmakhar.com/ Outside of work, I'm the one who drops surprise Spotify Jam sessions, gives gifts people don't forget, and gets way too competitive at anything with a score. Interested in consumer tech, growth, and AI product roles. https://jayrajmakhar.com/
