Sudhanshu Shekhar is a product leader and former founder with 11 years of experience building fintech and consumer-facing platforms, now serving as Staff Product Manager at Ethos in Bengaluru. He has led product strategy end-to-end—from founding Cheq to enable international UPI usage via prepaid wallets to shaping core fintech offerings at Zeta and influencing national payments infrastructure through a fellowship at iSPIRT. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, his background as a software engineer and multiple technical co‑founder roles informs pragmatic product decisions around payments, authentication and platform integrations. He frequently publishes critical thinking and business strategy insights on LinkedIn, using customer conversations to surface product opportunities. A less obvious strength: he blends hands-on engineering chops with policy-level contributions (OCEN, DPGA) that bridge startup execution and ecosystem design.
