There are some modes of appreciation that just stick with you long after you receive it. Browserstack definitely had their appreciation game on point. As I look back upon my journey with Ritesh Arora and Nakul Aggarwal which started with me joining Browserstack in 2019, I can’t help but be amazed at the authenticity and genuineness of feedback that all of us received. The below snapshot is an example. Doesn’t take much. But does so much!! #appreciation #authenticity

Clear communication of the current and total savings that I get with Zepto pass, evertime when I am about to place an order, is so satisfying. As a user, it reminds and reassures me that I took the right decision of buying the pass. 🙌🙂 Remember - Customers need repeat reassurance of the value they get, everytime, with the money they have paid for your product/service. Overcommunicate it🚀 #customervalue #userexperience #productquality

I just completed Shreyas Doshi's Product Sense course and I am still so overwhelmed with the exceptional experience. Initially, I was hesitant about the time commitment and whether the course would truly deliver value beyond what I could find in other resources. However, by the end of the very first day, I knew this was a unique and invaluable investment in my PM career. The concepts he covers are profound and advanced, going far beyond surface-level product management techniques. Unlike typical PM books or courses, this program challenges you to deeply introspect and reshape your entire product mindset.The curriculum forces you to confront your own biases, assumptions, and mental models in a way that I've never experienced before. By the end of the 5-day program, my product lens had been completely transformed. I would highly recommend it to any product manager looking to create winning products.

#Thoughts Today at work, even though I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, there's this mix of happiness, pride, excitement, and motivation bubbling up inside me. Why? Today, I witnessed something truly remarkable – 17-year-old Indian chess sensation Gukesh clinched victory in the FIDE Candidates tournament, earning himself a shot at the reigning world Chess champion. And let me tell you, his journey has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. What blows my mind is Gukesh's ability to stay cool, calm, and collected throughout the tournament. He never let his emotions get the best of him; he kept his head down, focused on one game at a time, and steadily marched toward his goal. I have always believed that managing emotions helps overcome any challenges life throws at you. Gukesh's win is living proof of that. It's like he's showing us all that with the right mindset, anything is possible. I remember reading an interview where Gukesh talked about wanting to become the youngest world chess champion, and now, he's on the brink of making that dream a reality. His unwavering dedication and focus seem to have this magical effect – it's like the universe is rooting for him, too. As I sit here, feeling happy and excited, I can't help but think about how Gukesh's victory will inspire a whole generation of chess players – and not just them, but anyone with a dream they're chasing. It leaves us some time to reflect on ourselves and to keep pushing forward no matter what. And that's a powerful message to take away this moment. #Inspired #Motivated #Proud

It’s with utter disappointment that I am resorting to reporting this through LinkedIn. We recently purchased a Samsung Electronics double door refrigerator for our new home on the 10th of November from Flipkart. The fridge was delivered and installed the next day. The fridge, however, is defective and isn’t providing cooling (basic function of a fridge) from the day it has been installed. We raised this issue to Flipkart first who asked us to contact Samsung since it’s their product. When we contacted Samsung Electronics through their toll free number they on the other hand denied taking ownership and asked us to get in touch with Flipkart. We went through multiple rounds of call center calls with both Flipkart and Samsung Electronics and eventually Samsung Electronics agreed to send a technician. 2 technicians came this morning, including 1 claiming to be a senior, and both confirmed that the compressor is defective. It’s been more than 5 days and we are living without a fridge, have vegetables rotting in the the kitchen, aren’t able to bring basic stuff like milk at home and have been spending hours on a working day contacting both Samsung Electronics and Flipkart for help. The return window is closing tomorrow and yet there has been no resolution on this issue after multiple follow ups with both. Since our 25k is blocked with Flipkart we are unable to even purchase another one at this time. It has been an absolutely painful and disappointing experience with both these big brands. Seeking help through this platform for support! Samsung Electronics Flipkart Kalyan Krishnamurthy #ConsumerRights #LegalHelp #NationalConsumerHelpline #ConsumerJustice #SupremeCourtIndia

I recently did something I haven’t had to do before- drafted up a Mat Leave plan! Few good learnings from this process- 🕗 Start earlier than you expect I started drafting up my plan ~6 weeks ago, socializing it with different stakeholders, and adding sections after having conversations with people where I realized additional inputs would be helpful. I was also pretty aggressive about actively opening up the doc and talking it through *live* with folks to ensure they were active shapers of the content vs. just passively sending a doc around and folks only reading it for the first time after I was already gone and they needed something (guaranteed to lead to freakouts). 🤔 There aren’t a ton of models for how to do it “right” In fact, I really only found one template that resonated for me/ my role (thanks Tamara Hinckley & Lenny's Newsletter! https://lnkd.in/g4gyb5uD) Given this, you can shape whatever doc you want but starting *super* bare bones and building it iteratively as I talked to folks and actually figured out what questions they had worked well for me. 👥 Prioritize people first The part of my plan I spent the most time on by far was ensuring my team would be taken care of while I’m out. This included interim management responsibilities as well as writing detailed performance review notes. I also pre-delivered performance feedback to my team for the (majority of the) Half to ensure they heard the feedback from me first-hand and there weren't any surprises. 🤰 It’s important that leaders model taking leave I was lucky to see strong examples of this early in my career. In my mid-20's, one of my role models Laura Jones joined Uber pregnant and took a full leave only a couple months into her tenure. She was joining as the first Product Marketer at the company, establishing an entirely new function, and took leave only a few months into the new gig. Talk about GUTSY. She went on to build a 50+ large PMM Org at Uber, have a ton of impact on the company and brand, and is now CMO at Instacart, so I’d say things turned out okay. 😄 But what watching Laura taught me is that there's never a “good” time to have a baby and take leave, and no matter how important or senior you are you’re never going to get your child’s first few months of life back. Take the leave, and show your team they can take it too. I’m super grateful to Statsig for being a startup that recognizes that life happens- even when you’re building a company!- and offering a generous leave for both mothers and fathers at all levels. Excited for what this next chapter will bring and how it will change me as a doer and a leader… see you in a few months ✌️

Swiggy HI Minecraft - is an annual competition where products from across orgs (Delivery, Consumer, Restaurant, Driver) within Swiggy compete for the title spot. What is this about? Minecraft rewards products that leverage Behavioural Science principles and high-quality experiments to generate mind-boggling insights and create a tangible impact for the users as well as for the business. Our (Parth Nigam Sanyam Jain & me) entry to the competition was Eco Saver, which I'm excited to share won the competition and was a bar-raiser! Eco Saver is an opt-in delivery mode where users can get a token discount for adding a few extra mins to their delivery, in turn contributing to the environment by reducing carbon emissions. What are some of the insightful takeaways from Eco Saver? 1. Our users are way more environment conscious than we anticipated, thus becoming a resounding ally in our mission towards sustainable deliveries. And this is across geographies (India 1 and 2). Millions of our users are willing to opt for grouped orders with higher delivery times even without a discount! 2. Grouped orders' NPS can in fact be better than the platform average! This is a learning that came to us 10 years into the business of delivering food. With Eco Saver, we were able to uplift NPS of grouped orders to the tune of 1.5-2X! 3. Digital real Estate is not really a limitation if utilised wisely. Eco Saver occupies one of the smallest real estates on the Swiggy app but delivers an impact far beyond its size! Paying attention to every little component and leveraging it to drive a specific JTBD can enable us to do more with less. This small widget underwent 9+ experiments with more than 30 variants!
