About Aditya Gautam

As an APM with a strong belief that great products are built when we deeply understand users.Over the past 2.5 years, I\'ve worked as a Product manager, driving requirement gathering, elicitation, future scoping, and managing the product backlog—while contributing end-to-end to the development of a 0→1 lending product in close collaboration with stakeholders and cross-functional teams.My experience includes identifying user pain points, conducting user research, writing user stories, and collaborating with crossfunctional teams to build solutions aligned with real needs.KEY SKILLS AND ACHIEVEMENTS:Skilled in identifying user pain points, conducting research, and writing detailed user stories to solve real-world problems.Supported the end-to-end development of a destination and event mobile app for a Dubai-based company, working closely with cross-functional teams from the initial RFP/RFI and proposal phases through to final product delivery.Data-driven thinker with hands-on experience in SQL, Mixpanel, and wireframing using Figma.Comfortable working in Agile teams, bridging business needs with technical execution.Strong problem-solving and user-first mindset with a passion for improving everyday experiences.CONTINUOUS LEARNING AND GROWTH:I actively learn product thinking by analyzing products I use daily, following top product leaders, and participating in APM communities.I\'m constantly learning how to make better product decisions using user feedback, research, and data.BEYOND WORK:I enjoy attending seminars, meeting new people, and traveling across places. I find inspiration in how products adapt across cultures — from metro ticketing systems to food delivery apps in different countries. Observing these interactions fuels my curiosity to build better, user-centric products.LOOKING AHEAD:I’m excited to grow into a full-time product role, contribute meaningfully to product teams, and keep building experiences that users truly value.
