Gaurav Kodande

With a dynamic blend of technical acumen and a proven track record in product management, I've spent the past five years honing my skills in a variety of high-impact roles, most recently as an Associate Product Manager at Joveo, a leading SAAS platform for programmatic advertising. In this role, I've been responsible for owning a product vertical related to Facebook and Google programmatic advertising, with a business impact exceeding $200K per month. I have successfully launched and scaled new products, reduced escalation tickets by up to 80%, and significantly improved the time efficiency of our platform.

Earlier in my career, as a Growth Marketing Manager at BDS, I created robust content creation pipelines and optimized lead conversion for a diverse range of clients. This experience instilled in me the importance of understanding and meeting the needs of the end user, a perspective I bring to my product management roles.

In addition, as the Co-Founder and Product Manager of MONIMO, an online sponsorship management platform, I gained firsthand experience in developing products from scratch. I was responsible for defining user flows, developing front-end of the product, and creating bidding-auction algorithms, all of which led to a significant revenue generation through our platform.

My academic qualifications include a Master's degree in Business Administration with a focus on marketing and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, both of which provide me a solid foundation for the interdisciplinary demands of product management.

Throughout my journey, I have consistently supplemented my on-the-job learning with certifications and bootcamps, including Product Analytics MixPanel, Product Management 101 Bootcamp, and Growth Hacking Bootcamp, among others.

On a personal level, I'm a self-starter who loves to explore new technologies and approaches. I have a passion for building products that create value and have a real impact on people's lives. I enjoy mentoring and have successfully guided students in their career journey in product management.

My diverse skills range from roadmap planning, stakeholder management, data analysis, and agile methodologies, to digital marketing, A/B testing, and conversion optimization. I'm adept at using a variety of tools such as Figma, MixPanel, Google Analytics, Excel, SQL, CleverTap, Hotjar, WebFlow, and Adobe Illustrator.

To sum it up, my multifaceted background in product management, growth marketing, and entrepreneurship, combined with my passion for delivering user-centric solutions, makes me an effective and dynamic product manager. I look forward to bringing my expertise, drive, and dedication to your team.

I have 2 years of Product Management experience majorly in B2B SAAS and B2B2C. I also have 2 years of growth marketing experience where I have worked with 10+ B2C business to improve their funnel for acquisition, activation, retention, monetisation etc. which created great impact for all our clients. I'm a computer engineer and post graduate in MBA with majors in Marketing. I'm looking for active opportunities in Product role, ready to join immediately based out of Pune or remote.
