# Jayraj Makhar on Tal

## Headline

AI Product Manager \| Ex\- Tickertape/smallcase • Teleport \(acquired\) • ShopOS \| AI • Consumer Tech • E\-commerce • Fintech • Travel\-tech \| 0→1→10

## 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/
