Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArjun Kalburgi is a founder and product leader with 11 years of engineering and product experience, specializing in consumer mobile experiences and behavioural design for Gen Z and Millennials. He built Lila, an AI-powered, gamified finance app that reframed impulsive spending into an engagement problem and drove a 3000% increase in reviewed spending with users opening the app ~6.7 times per week. Comfortable moving 0-to-1, he combines frontend engineering chops, UX design, and rigorous user research (40+ interviews) to turn psychological insights into high-retention product loops. At Nylas he bridged product, engineering, and sales to launch mobile SDKs and accelerate stalled projects through clear alignment and rapid execution. Wired for creative problem-solving and first-principles thinking, he’s as likely to sketch a mascot-driven core loop as he is to ship developer-facing SDKs.
