Hi there! My name is Manduvanda Amruth Charmana… you can just call me… Amruth : )
I’m a serial entrepreneur with 12+ years of experience in conceiving, developing, and scaling customer-centric B2B software and SaaS products. My journey is filled with experiences covering the full spectrum of the product lifecycle, from identifying market opportunities to delivering solutions that resonate with users and achieve business objectives.
As a first-principles thinker, I have proven abilities to translate complex market opportunities into tangible business outcomes...
My entrepreneurial spirit led me to cofound and build successful ventures, raising $2.3M USD in funding and strategically leading the successful acquisition of 3 software & SaaS products so far. These experiences via multiple ventures has instilled in me a holistic understanding of the product lifecycle, from initial conceptualization and securing investment to driving market adoption and achieving successful exits.
I possess a strong track record in building and nurturing cross-functional high-performance teams, having successfully led groups of over 80+ professionals operating across two countries for five consecutive years. My leadership philosophy is deeply rooted in fostering a data-driven culture, leveraging agile methodologies, and applying design thinking principles to consistently deliver exceptional product value to the end-user. I am passionate about mentoring young professionals who are keen on building products, guiding them to understand the intricacies of core product solutions and market dynamics.
Throughout my career, I’ve spearheaded initiatives that have significantly contributed to revenue growth, efficiency optimization, and enhanced user engagement across diverse industries including B2B, SaaS, financial services, and e-commerce. From architecting over 70+ unique software solutions for more than 100+ enterprise and startup clients to revolutionizing digital transformation for MSMEs, my work consistently demonstrates a profound impact.
This 12+ years journey has allowed me to gain practical insights into the complexities of product building, from strategic planning and team alignment to solution delivery and continuous improvement… And I like sharing these experiences and insights, contributing to the broader understanding of effective product management practices…
Why I write these blogs:
Well… I primarily write articles on topics I wish to revisit later… or those I believe would be beneficial for my junior colleagues. Ultimately, I envision compiling these articles into a comprehensive guide or a manual for anyone looking to understand the art of product building. I’ve tried to keep the tone and language very simple here… limiting the usage of jargons, so that it can be easily understood by a college student or a seasoned scholar alike! To further help understand these topics, I’ve manually created & incorporated numerous visual diagrams / explainer charts throughout my blogs, so that few complex concepts could be quickly grasped. I’m in a journey of continuous discovery, where every challenge is an opportunity to craft meaningful solutions and push the boundaries of what’s possible! The optimism I’m carrying (especially in this new-age of AI era…) for what we can achieve through thoughtful product development is limitless and with all these constant technological advancements that’s happening around us… we are truly in a field that empowers us to shape a better world for everyone! What an incredibly exciting time to be alive & building sensible products!
