# Srikanth A\. on Tal

## Headline

Product Manager \(6\+ years\) \| Building UPI at Tata Neu \| Ex Juspay, Imaginea, Cognizant \| IMT Ghaziabad

## About

As a Product Manager in the payments space, I work on UPI systems that power high\-frequency payments and checkout experiences\. My focus has been on making transactions seamless—from intent to confirmation—while minimizing drop\-offs and failures\. I’ve worked on improving checkout funnels, optimizing payment success rates, and launching GTM strategies for handle migrations and emerging behaviors like credit\-on\-UPI\. What excites me most is solving the last\-mile problems in checkout—the invisible friction that directly impacts conversion and trust\.
