About Rahul G.

Product leader with 15 years of experience, architecting and scaling high-scale consumer platforms across messaging, e-commerce, and quick commerce. Proven track record leading large, cross-functional teams through 0→1 and scale journeys, defining multi-year product strategy, and shipping customer-facing products used by tens of millions.At Flipkart, I lead a team of PMs and led the conceptualization and development of the Quick Commerce platform (Minutes) as a fully independent commerce stack within a super-app — including re-architecting the serviceability model, building Quick commerce optimised basket building experiences cutting across platforms and a dedicated checkout flow, and expanding into new categories like prescription pharma and phone exchange, all driving growth, retention, and monetization at scale.Before Minutes, I ran monetization and alternate shopping experiences for Flipkart Grocery — doubling performance ads revenue and lifting CTR 40% by rebuilding the relevance layer in the listing ads algorithm. At Hike (100M+ user social platform), I led Content and Feed experiences that grew time spent 4x, improved D7 retention by 25%, and scaled content volume 15x while cutting sourcing costs by 85%.What drives me: building platforms that create compounding leverage — where one architectural decision unlocks 10 downstream use cases. I\'m drawn to high-frequency, high-intent transaction experiences where relevance and speed directly translate to business outcomes.Core focus areas: platform strategy, marketplace economics, relevance & personalization systems, ads monetization, super-app design, and growth loops for high-repeat consumer products.
