Product Management Intern @ RetainIQ \| Strategy & Ops \| Ex\-HP, Expedia, Unacademy \| IIT Kharagpur ’26

## About

Hey\! Sahil here\. Final\-year undergrad at IIT Kharagpur, and I love turning complex challenges into simple, high\-impact execution plans\. I’ve explored this across very different environments: RetainIQ \(Product Management \+ analytics\), HP’s Corporate VC team \(AI market \+ startup evaluation\), Expedia \(Ads Benchmarking \+ Pricing Analysis\), Bajaj Capital \(GTM \+ growth execution\), and Unacademy \(engagement \+ retention\)\. Those experiences taught me a consistent lesson: outcomes come from asking the right questions, validating with data, and iterating fast\. I enjoy working on funnels, cohorts, pricing, and strategy and I’m hands\-on with SQL, Excel, Tableau/Power BI, and product frameworks\.
