Shivank Shankar

Associate Product Manager with 5 years of experience in enterprise SaaS and HRTech, building products that people actually use. I do not hand off to engineering and wait. I write the PRD, prototype the solution using Claude and GitHub Copilot, and close the sprint alongside the team.

Every company I have joined had the same gap: slow cycles, low adoption and a wide distance between what the business needed and what shipped. At Capgemini it was dashboards no one looked at. At Axtria it was analytics workflows running well below efficiency.

At M2P Fintech it was an HR platform 2,000 employees were not using. I close that gap the same way every time. I start with the user, translate their pain into structure, then pull the work forward. I care about adoption because a feature that nobody uses is a system that still failed the person who needed it.

That belief drives every roadmap decision I make.

Tools: Claude AI, GitHub Copilot, MCP, Jira, Figma, Confluence, SQL and Tableau.
