About Shailesh Ghode

I work at the intersection of education, technology, and operations to turn curriculum intent into adopted, revenue-generating learning platforms that actually get used in classrooms.As a Product Manager at Tata ClassEdge, I bring a rare blend of academic depth, product thinking, and execution discipline. I was promoted from Learning Design to Head Academic for a B2C product, and then into Product Management—giving me end-to-end visibility from pedagogy and content to product strategy, rollout, adoption, and operational excellence.My core strength is making educational products work in the real world- Translating academic objectives into intuitive learning experiences- Working across product, tech, content, sales, and operations- Leading implementation and rollout at scale with a focus on adoption- Designing training that drives teacher buy-in and sustained usage- Using data to refine features, improve engagement, and support growthOver the years, I’ve contributed to- Product Management – Shaping features and roadmaps aligned to market and academic needs- Learning Design – Building student-centric digital content, especially in Mathematics- Implementation & Rollout – Driving smooth deployments and classroom execution- Adoption & Training – Creating scalable teacher enablement models- Delivery & Operations – Ensuring products are reliably launched, delivered, and supportedI care deeply about learning outcomes and am equally passionate about product design, delivery, and analytics. This dual lens helps me bridge what’s pedagogically sound with what’s commercially viable.Looking ahead, I’m excited to work with EdTech founders and CEOs who want to- Turn strong curricular ideas into scalable, user-centric products- Improve teacher adoption and student engagement- Build robust implementation and training engines- Use data and operations to guide product strategyIf you’re building or scaling an EdTech product and need someone who understands classrooms, product, and operations—and can connect all three into a growth engine—I’d be glad to connect.
