# Vraj Modi on Tal

## Headline

Product Manager@PineLabs \| YC, Sequoia \| Fintech Infra, Payments, Lending, UPI \| National Badminton Player

## About

I’m a 0→1 product builder with a focus on Product Management & Entrepreneurship\. I bring deep operator context, product market fit instinct, and pattern recognition shaped by building from scratch\. I know what it looks like when something real starts to move \- and what it feels like when it doesn’t\. At Pine Labs, I lead the Offline Devices initiative\(POS, terminals\),, spearheading the end\-to\-end development and successful launch of next\-generation payment solutions tailored for B2B merchants\. At CARS24, I built and scaled the core parts of the lending stack\. Before this, I was the first PM at Decentro, a YC\-backed fintech infra company\. I launched payments and onboarding systems now used by some of India’s top AI\-first and consumer platforms\. I was a Venture Fellow at the Venture Institute by VC Lab, a global cohort of emerging investors from 60\+ countries\. We study venture firm building, early\-stage investing, and how to support founders where it actually counts\. I’m especially drawn to teams building in fintech infra, agentic workflows, vertical AI, consumer internet, and applied edtech\. These are spaces I’ve worked in, thought about, and want to bet on\. I’ve worked on B2B and consumer products where nothing was figured out \- no users, no roadmap, just pressure\. I’ve sat between compliance, engineering, and founders, and built things that reached scale\. I don’t ship for the velocity\. I aim to reach product\-market fit\. If you’re building, investing, or thinking through anything in this space — or want to jam on startups, psychology, philosophy, or physics — reach out: vrajmodi12@gmail\.com
