About Anil Chand

One of the early narrations from the film \"Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)\" piqued my interest. Here\'s how it goes. “…man refused to adapt himself to his environment. Instead, he adapted his environment to suit him. So, he built cities, roads, vehicles, machinery. And he put up power lines to run his labor-saving devices. But he somehow didn\'t know when to stop. The more he improved his surroundings to make life easier the more complicated he made it” I believe that Our Problems evolve over time so should Our Solutions. The best we can aspire for is to gain a better understanding of the problem and find solutions that would last a little longer. I solve problems, love building products and I enjoy conversations around customer’s journey. I specialize in solving problems with in-depth research insights on markets and users. I have led many 0 - 1 and 1 - n product design and development teams. My dogged curiosity to discover the WHY has driven me to continuously iterate, optimize and scale the product platforms in B2C & B2B markets. I\'ve acquired a diverse set of skills and competencies over the years, from being a software engineer to leading technology planning, driving UX functional excellence, and founding my Start-up. The Ones I value the most are • Ear to The Customers • Eye on The Data • Mentoring the Teams • Strategizing the Roadmap & Pursing the Vision • Strategic Planning & Execution These values have greatly influenced my approach to problem-solving and building products. Always chasing the next WHY. Reach Me on m•••••••@gmail.com
