About George Hormise Tharakan
16+ years in design, tech, and product has given me a strong resonance for turning chaos into clear roadmaps, without losing the human touch. I geek out on the intersection of systems, tech, and real user behaviour; governing programs efficiently, aligning cross-functional teams, and dissolving friction so experiences just feel better and joyful :) Curiosity drives me; spotting measurable and meaningful wins, building trust through open chats, and making sure we’re all headed the same way.Outside work? I’m knee-deep in agriculture (soil and crops are surprisingly addictive) or plotting my next travel adventure to chase new cultures and flavors. It keeps me grounded and surprisingly sharper at the day job.
Experience
Sr Program Manager, Gpay - in Region
Mar 2026 — Present · Bengaluru, IN
I support UX Program Management for strategic initiatives at Google Pay India, focusing on the orchestration of complex roadmaps and the elevation of operational rigor.My work centers on optimizing team velocity through efficiency mapping and the governance of cross-functional workflows. By navigating the interdependencies between product, engineering, and design, I ensure structural alignment across horizontal workstreams to solve high-stakes, real-world financial challenges. It’s a balance of rigorous strategy and meaningful execution; bridging the gap between high-level vision and the everyday impact of building products that people truly rely on.
