Summary
Gaurav Bhatnagar is a Group Product Manager with 10 years of experience building enterprise-grade platform and control-plane capabilities across Microsoft, Databricks, and now Atlassian. He has led product strategy and execution for large-scale management experiences—spanning RBAC, entitlements, provisioning workflows, policy, and GenAI-powered UX—to make cloud and SaaS products easier to govern and operate. At Azure he drove consistency across 200+ services by shaping APIs, deployment tooling, and policy frameworks; at Databricks he extended that focus to GenAI and workspace lifecycle at scale. Known for bridging deep engineering roots (MS in CS and early Visual Studio/cloud dev work) with strategic product leadership (Kellogg executive training), he excels at turning platform complexity into consumable developer and enterprise workflows. Based in Redmond, he combines a pragmatic execution style with a knack for cross-group collaboration and measurable impact on reliability and customer experience.
