About

Keen on strategy and product, mostly because I like taking on problems nobody's fully figured out yet! Started out as an engineer in the EV space, doing hardware development at Brose India, working on control systems and modular controller designs for electric two-wheelers. But I kept getting drawn toward the why, why we're building what we're building, not just the how. Right now, I'm at MESA School of Business, surrounded by founders, operators, and people building markets from scratch. It's rubbed off on me. Co-founded Beanish, a coffee brand sourcing single-origin coffee straight from Coorg, where I did a bit of everything, setting up the website, sorting logistics, running ops, the whole thing. Also spent time at Vutto as a Product Management intern, trying to understand users deeply and shipping changes that actually moved the needle on conversion. Before all this, I was part of the STES Racing team in college, building race cars from scratch. That's probably where the itch to build started. That's me so far. Looking for roles in strategy and product. If any of this sounds interesting, let's connect. tanvi_mannapur@pg26.mesaschool.co
