Do you work with startups outside Delhi?

Yes — remote-first across India (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and beyond), with everything in IST so there's zero timezone friction. Delhi NCR teams additionally get in-person time when it helps.

How does fractional pricing compare to hiring a senior PM in India?

A senior product leader at a good Indian startup runs a substantial annual CTC — before the six-month search. Fractional gets you comparable judgment for the two or three days a week you actually have decisions for, at a correspondingly fractional cost, starting within weeks.

Can you help us raise from Indian and global VCs?

I've raised for my own company and build investor-grade metrics narratives as part of engagements — cohort stories, traction framing, and the product section of the deck. I don't broker introductions; I make the story survive diligence.

Do you understand building for Bharat as well as metro India?

Medzin and WisOwl both serve users well beyond South Delhi — vernacular comfort, price sensitivity, and WhatsApp-first workflows shaped both products. I won't claim uniform expertise across every segment, but tier-2 user behavior is inside my lived product experience, not outside it.

Fractional product manager, India

Senior product leadership for Indian startups — a Delhi-based 2x founder who has built for Indian users at Medzin and WisOwl, with US-scale operating experience.

India's startup ecosystem has a seniority gap in product. Companies scale past founder-led product years before they can attract — or afford — a genuinely senior full-time product leader, because the best ones are concentrated in a handful of unicorns and priced accordingly. Fractional product leadership exists for exactly this gap, and I offer it from an unusual position: Indian founder roots, US-scale operating experience, based in Delhi.

Built for Indian users, twice

Both my companies were built for the Indian market. Medzin was a Delhi healthcare discovery platform I co-founded and grew to 18,000+ users and Rs. 60L ARR on $150,000 of seed capital — where I learned what trust-building takes when your users are patients and your suppliers are clinics. WisOwl AI, my current company, is an agentic hiring platform for the Indian job market: semantic matching built on FAISS and pgvector, 5,000+ organic signups, 15+ recruiter partnerships, zero paid marketing. Building for Indian users — price sensitivity, WhatsApp-first behavior, trust earned in vernacular details — is not something I read about in a teardown; it's my daily work.

Plus the imported discipline

Between my two companies, I spent eight years working remotely with CaaStle in New York, rising to Associate Director of PM and running growth product across a $30M–$50M ARR portfolio. That's where the measurement rigor comes from: cohort-based decision-making, honest A/B testing (the program I ran banked $2.1M in ARR savings), and roadmap discipline at revenue scale. Indian startups usually get either scrappy-local or polished-global product leadership. Fractional lets you have both in the same person, two days a week.

Engagement shapes

Fractional: 1–3 days a week owning product alongside your founders — remote across India, in person in Delhi NCR.
Sprints: PMF validation, 0-to-1 launches, or AI product scoping as fixed projects.
Advisory: a standing weekly call for founders who need judgment more than hands.

Pricing is structured for Indian startup budgets — a fraction of a senior PM's CTC for the days you actually need.
