Jayanta

Product leader with 8+ years building and scaling consumer fintech products across wealth, payments, digital assets, insurance, and financial services in APAC. Track record of owning full product strategy and roadmaps from 0-to-1 through scale, delivering elegant experiences on complex regulated platforms. Personal investor across equities, ETFs, and roboadvisory products, which gives a genuine consumer perspective on where the wealth experience breaks down.

I build AI agents outside of work, including a self-driving portfolio agent using institutional-grade multi-agent architecture, and treat AI-native product design as a core competency rather than a differentiator. Brings the combination of analytical rigor to prioritise ruthlessly, UX instincts to keep complexity invisible to the user, and a bias toward shipping.
