Kiran Karthikeyan

I became a product builder by learning on the job, solving complex, large-scale problems. My journey started with a unique challenge: helping architect India's core digital payment systems (NEFT/RTGS), which taught me how to think in terms of resilient, society-level platforms. I took that thinking to Microsoft, where I pioneered on-device mobile AI, and eventually led the turnaround of Bayer’s FarmRise platform into an award-winning service that empowers millions of farmers.

Having navigated my own path into product leadership, I am dedicated to helping others do the same. I will share hard-won lessons and work with you to develop a robust product strategy, design experiences that users love, and identify the right levers for growth so that you can build a resilient and impactful business and career.
