About Arnav Batra

A Product Leader who specializes in building user-centric, scalable solutions that deliver meaningful business impact. My approach is rooted in translating deep user insights and data into actionable strategy. I thrive at the intersection of product, growth, and operations, with a focus on end-to-end ownership from initial discovery to successful delivery— My professional experience is centred on driving tangible results:• At Cuvette, my focus has been on driving both product-led growth and 0-to-1 innovation. I\'ve led initiatives that overhauled core user acquisition funnels and spearheaded the conceptualisation of new products from scratch, such as an AI Resume Reviewer, ultimately scaling organic traffic by 3x.• Previously at D2C startup Qadira, I owned the product and operations roadmap. I architected the technology that unified a complex physical supply chain and pioneered new revenue streams through innovative channels like smart personal care vending machines.Graduated as a Top Fellow from NextLeap’s Product Management Fellowship, where I honed advanced skills in product strategy through intensive projects, detailed tear-downs and case studies of products like - Zepto, to propose strategies for increasing AOV and reducing user decision fatigue.My leadership philosophy was forged early in my career as President of Bennett University’s Student Council, representing 10,500+ students. Leading a 200-member team to manage over 170 events and secure ₹32 lakhs in sponsorships taught me invaluable lessons in stakeholder management, large-scale execution, and team motivation. For these contributions, I was honoured with the Chancellor\'s Award for Exceptional Leadership and the Chancellor\'s Silver Medal for Entrepreneurship.The work modus operandi, that has always worked for me, is pretty straightforward- OBSERVE user behaviour to identify the real problem- BREAK DOWN complexity into focused, testable ideas- STRATEGISE with user value and business goals in mind- EXECUTE with speed, clarity, and high ownershipI’m always open to connecting with fellow professionals to discuss product strategy, user experience, growth, or even travel itineraries.
