Ankur Agarwal

I like building consumer products that solve real problems - from finding PMF for Uber's ride pass in India, to diagnosing a trust gap for first-time car buyers at Spinny.

7+ years across product growth, 0-1 products, and a brief founder stint. Currently on a break, using it to get hands-on with AI - I built a voice + image calorie tracker and a few workflow tools, learning by shipping. Looking for my next role in Bengaluru.
