Hello there!
I am Sandeep Kowshik, a passionate Product Manager who enjoys partnering with user research, design, analytics, marketing and sales to bring exceptional products to life.
Product building philosophy
"What is your product building philosophy?" a friend once asked me. I did not have an immediate answer. That moment sparked introspection, leading me to articulate a guiding principle that encapsulates my journey and passion for creating remarkable products. Here is my perspective:
Design: Crafting delightful experiences
I find inspiration in the seamless experiences offered by industry leaders like Apple, Google, Tesla, and Amazon. The joy of unboxing an Apple product, driving a Tesla car or the simplicity of an Amazon one-click purchase resonates with me. When I build products, I channel that admiration into a commitment to create low-friction, elegantly designed solutions. My goal is to engineer products that delight users and seamlessly integrate into their lives.
Tech: Bridging the gap between engineering, customer and the business
I started my career as a software engineer and transitioned into product management. Working with my engineering counterparts comes naturally to me and I enjoy some of the deep dives technical discussions. Bridging the gap between engineering, the consumer needs and business demands is one of my key strenghts. I enjoy this role and strive to build aligment between these three pillars.
Launching Products: From Insight to Impact
User research forms the foundation of my product development process. Understanding the pulse of our users, their pain points, and aspirations is crucial. Yet, the true test lies in getting our products into the hands of users. Collaborating with sales, marketing, and distribution channels, I focus on shaping compelling reasons-to-buy and influencing the customer buying journey. It's not just about creating solutions; it's about making a meaningful impact.
In Summary: A Passion for Building, Launching, and Succeeding
In essence, I thrive on the entire product lifecycle—from ideation to commercial success. Building products that solve real problems for real users is at the core of what I do and I am enjoying this journey!
