Aspiring Product Manager ✦ Strategy, Analytics & AI Enthusiast ✦ SIH’24 Finalist ✦ Top Performer @ Product Space

About

Civil Engineer building a career in Product. My journey into Product Management wasn't linear. From Civil Engineering to driving B2B strategy across global industries at Neilsoft, I've learned to approach complex problems through both a user and a business lens. From there, I went all in on building — 0→1 product concepts across AI, fintech, marketplaces, and consumer apps. PRDs, prototypes, growth experiments. The full process, just without the job title yet. I'm especially into how AI, human behavior, and business incentives collide to decide whether people actually use a product or just download it and forget it. 📩 Always open to connect with founders, PMs, and builders at sajanbodele1@gmail.com.
