Director of Product at MobiKwik | Ex-Paytm | IIT-ISM Dhanbad

About

Fintech is complex. Great products make it feel simple. I’m Yash Gupta, a product leader with ~9 years of experience building and scaling products in high growth environments that sit at the intersection of users and business outcomes. Currently, I serve as Director of Product at MobiKwik where I lead Merchant Products and focus on creating simple, scalable solutions for complex payment and commerce needs. What excites me most is turning ambiguity into clarity - taking messy problem statements, understanding customer pain deeply, and shaping them into products that teams can rally behind and users actually love. I’ve worked closely with engineering, design, data, sales, and ops teams, and I strongly believe great products are built through strong collaboration, not solo heroics. I care deeply about: a) Building products that deliver real business impact b) Crafting intuitive experiences in fintech and payments c)Scaling products from early traction to large adoption d) Mentoring PMs and building high-ownership product teams I’m always curious, always learning, and always up for conversations around product leadership, fintech, platforms, and building products that matter.
