Summary
Namita Maharanwar is a Senior Product Manager based in Mumbai with 11 years of experience blending hands-on engineering roots and product leadership across fintech, consumer platforms, and startups. She has progressed from software engineering roles into product leadership, co-founding a food venture and later leading product teams at Tartan, Jify, and now smalt, demonstrating an ability to translate technical constraints into customer-facing solutions. Her background in Python/Django and cloud-native stacks gives her a pragmatic edge when partnering with engineering teams to ship scalable systems. Known for stepping into both tactical delivery (Pod Lead, Senior Engineer) and strategic product ownership (Head of Products), she excels at turning early-stage ideas into operational products. Based in India and educated in computer science at Pune Institute of Computer Technology, she combines entrepreneurial grit with a disciplined engineering mindset. A less-obvious strength is her track record of moving fluidly between building code and setting product direction, which helps bridge gaps between developers, stakeholders, and customers.
