Lead Product Manager | Player Economy, Monetization & Retention | Sr. Game Designer | IIM K’ 2026 | Building with AI

About

Certified Product Manager (IIM Kozhikode) with 12+ years designing the systems that decide whether a player stays, spends, or leaves progression, rewards, RTP/volatility tuning, and monetization loops across mobile, console, and regulated iGaming (virtual sports, live casino, land-based POS). I've spent the last year rebuilding my own workflow around AI: using LLMs to model monetization scenarios, generate and stress-test PRDs, run rapid competitive tear downs, and prototype product flows before a single engineering hour is spent. It's changed how fast I can go from "what if" to a testable spec. Most recently I owned the roadmap for a multi-market casino/virtual sports platform RNG and betting-systems integration, regulatory constraints translated into shippable features, delivered on schedule. Looking for Product Manager / Product Owner roles gaming, iGaming, or any consumer apps with strong engagement and monetization mechanics where AI-native product practice is valued either in India or international.
