Head of Product @ PayQuicker • Creator – Follow for content on Leadership, Personal branding, UpSkilling & Productization • I share what I learn

I am an AI Product Leader with 13+ years of experience in FinTech, digital payments, and product management, focused on building and scaling solutions that move money securely and efficiently. My expertise spans payout orchestration platforms, virtual cards, digital wallets, and cross-border payments, with a track record of delivering products in 200+ countries and 40+ currencies.

I’ve partnered with banks, PSPs, and global card networks (Visa, Mastercard, ACH, SEPA, SWIFT, RTP) to launch products that improve speed, reliability, and customer experience. My background includes defining KPIs, reducing failed transactions by 15%, and driving feature adoption by 20% through data-driven insights.

On the technical side, I work closely with engineering teams to design and deliver products built on REST APIs, OAuth standards, and webhook integrations for real-time synchronization. I leverage SQL and BI tools (Power BI, dashboards, analytics) to guide prioritization and ensure compliance with frameworks such as KYC, AML, PCI, PSD2, 3DS, and EMVCo.

I thrive at the intersection of product strategy, execution, and stakeholder alignment — turning complex financial and regulatory challenges into clear roadmaps, and mentoring teams to deliver scalable, customer-centric solutions.

The last 5 minutes of my interview got me an offer letter
Real story ⬇️ 

This one time, I was in the behavioral round interview, as the interview was nearing an end, I had this feeling...

I had followed a very structured approach to my answers and all my examples/stories. 

But something felt missing.

When it was time for my questions, I asked the usual thoughtful ones (about the company, team, challenges, etc.). 

Then, as we wrapped up, 
I asked something that eventually led to an offer. 
Behavioral interviews are less about "good answers" and more about telling complete stories. 

Most candidates never get to tell all of theirs.
After a couple of my questions towards the end, I asked:

"Is there anything I haven't had a chance to touch on that would be helpful for you to know?"

The interviewer paused.

Then said, "Actually… tell me more about your GenAI work."
That question created an opening I didn't have before.

I spent the next few minutes walking through how I'd applied GenAI in product workflows. The conversation went deeper. 

That round led to the next. The next led to an offer.



Don't forget: your last question is a powerful part of the interview. Make it count.

"Just be yourself" is the worst interview advice ever
6 killer moves that help you stand out in PM interviews

I know we don't like to admit this, but truthfully, the interviewer isn't always objectively scoring your answers. 

Their brain forms a snap judgment in the first few minutes, then spends the rest of the hour looking for evidence to confirm it.

which means most of your prep is solving the wrong problem. You are asking ChatGPT to give you polished answers when you need to understand 
the psychology, tactics, and biases.


6 tactical moves that shift outcomes:

1/ Front-load your strongest story. Your first answer is the anchor. If their first note says "sharp thinker," every answer after gets the benefit of the doubt. Don't open with something safe. Open with something that shows judgment.


2/ Research the interviewer, not just the company. Their LinkedIn tells you what they value. A former founder is most likely to reward scrappiness. A Big Tech PM most likely rewards cross-functional rigor. Lead with the story that matches their lens. and dont generic questions like "what's the culture like" 


3/ Don't end at the result with "So What." You said, "Retention improved 15%," which is great, but then if it was paired with addional qualifier, "That became the #1 input to our Series B narrative," is a strong highlight in the feedback.


I go deeper into the psychology + a full list of rest of 6 moves, how you need to tweak your answer depending on where you interview (startups, scaleups, and big tech) in my full free guide. 


Comment "tactics" and I'll personally send you the guide. (must be connected)

At PayU, I oversee the checkout payment experience, focusing on conversion optimization, payment gateway integrations, and frictionless user experiences across web, SDK, and API platforms.Some highlights from my work include improving transaction success rates through data-led redesigns, enhancing payment reliability across methods like UPI, cards, and wallets, and collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, design, and compliance teams to launch scalable solutions that drive both customer satisfaction and business growth.What drives me is creating clarity out of complexity—designing digital experiences that feel effortless while solving real-world challenges at scale. I leverage data analytics, user research, and AI-driven workflows to move faster and make smarter, customer-focused product decisions.Looking ahead, I’m excited to contribute to innovative, product-led organizations where technology, design, and strategy intersect to shape the future of digital commerce and fintech.💳 Let’s connect if you’re building the next generation of payment experiences or exploring how product-led innovation can drive meaningful impact.

Hardi  J.

I left a 5-year Chartered Accountant career to become a Product Manager.

On paper?

That looks irrational.

To most ATS systems, it looks like a rejection.
But here’s what the resume doesn’t show.

At Kotak, I learned how businesses actually operate — not how their SOPs say they operate. I learned to see:
  friction.
  workarounds.
  invisible gaps.


At PwC, I learned how investors read a company.
    What builds trust.
    What breaks it.
    Compliance isn’t paperwork, it’s architecture.


At KPMG, something shifted.
 I stopped pointing at broken systems.
 I started building the fix.
 
An internal enterprise platform that digitizes audit workflows.
Replacing days of manual work with structured systems.

At JP Morgan, I went further.
Automating fund accounting and financial reporting end-to-end. That’s when it became obvious.
I wasn’t thinking like an auditor anymore.
I was thinking in systems.
 In trade-offs.
 In scalability.

 I just didn’t have the title.
 So I made the shift.
 No safety net.
 No perfect roadmap.
Just conviction.

Because product management doesn’t just need builders. It needs people who:
 Understand risk.
 Understand trust.
 Understand how compliance shapes user experience.

Today, I’m focused on building platform products at the intersection of fintech, compliance, and scale.

My career may look like a detour.
It was a foundation being laid.
Sometimes the filter almost filters out the fit.

If you're building in fintech, payments, or a platform, let’s talk.

And if you’ve made a “non-linear” move, what did people misunderstand about your journey?

👇 I’d love to hear it.
