About Uttara Thakur

Curious and result-driven Product Marketing Manager passionate about building compelling narratives that connect products with customer needs. Currently at IBM, I focus on positioning, messaging, and buyer persona development, while leading go-to-market strategies for new feature launches. My work spans content creation, webinars, partner marketing, digital journeys (web, trials, demos) and sales enablement — all aimed at driving adoption and growth.Before IBM, I led marketing for Visionet BFSI, shaping GTM strategies and delivering multi-channel campaigns to strengthen SaaS product visibility and accelerate business growth. Earlier at Axis Bank, I managed flagship engagement programs for HNI customers and 150+ merchant partnerships, driving higher spends and loyalty through contextual, real-time marketing.What energizes me most is the blend of strategy and execution — distilling market insights into differentiated positioning, equipping sellers to win, and shaping customer experiences that drive measurable outcomes.Outside of work, I often turn to writing — poems or prose — as a way to channel curiosity and reflection. Always open to exchanging ideas on product marketing, growth, and storytelling: u••••••••@gmail.com
