About Ankit Jain

Product manager with 7+ years of experience across B2B SaaS (Sprinklr – AI-powered customer experience management, SurgeGrowth – monetization stack for mobile apps), B2C EdTech (Epic for Kids), and healthcare (UnitedHealth Group). Drove $15M+ in revenue growth across the Middle East and US markets. At SurgeGrowth, I defined the 0-to-1 product roadmap to help apps monetise effortlessly. We started with providing a subscription management infra for apps and have gone through a few pivots. We launched price localisation, with 100+ indie devs using it to price their products globally in AN & IOS using purchasing power parity indexes in just a few minutes. At Epic (~$50M ARR), I led acquisition, retention and monetisation for the Home product. I drove $5M+/year via price experiments, paywall redesigns to boost annual take rate and ran targeted offers to triple monthly-to-annual upgrades. Increased new subs conversion by 10%+ through free trials, behavioural discounts & improved onboarding. Achieved 40% organic traffic growth via SEO efforts. Lifted M1 retention by 3% by running experiments to improve series discovery. Launched a new format, Cinematic books to boost engagement (content finish rates). Also built a configurable paywall to save 2 months of dev efforts annually on Back-to-School campaigns. At Sprinklr, I led an 8-member product team owning Location Insights ($10M+ ARR) and drove retention and usability initiatives across products. Key achievements include 5X ARR growth in Location Insights, 90%+ retention for Modern Research accounts,$100M ARR), 50% adoption growth, and a 15% NPS improvement. I launched features like Smart Alerts, Insights, Themes, and Tailored Persona, saving $1M in churn and adding $4M ARR. I collaborated closely with sales, customer success, and marketing teams across US, EMEA, and APAC.At UnitedHealth Group, I built scalable Big Data solutions, led a key module in a $40M+ product offering cost-effective health plans, and saved $1M+/year with a reusable data framework.

   SurgeGrowth

   Jul 2024 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   At SurgeGrowth, we\'re building the monetization infrastructure for subscription apps—so developers can focus on their core product, not backend plumbing. Our platform helps manage in-app subscriptions (iOS, AN, Stripe) and run growth experiments (price, paywall, promotions) with actionable insights in a few minutes. As part of the founding team, I defined the initial product strategy, feature roadmap and the business plan. I co-led the development of subscription management infra for AN & IOS apps. I was responsible for the launch of Price localisation which is used by 100+ indie devs to set country specific prices for their products using our purchasing power parity indexes in just a few minutes.
