📢 Series A+ SaaS Leaders: Is This Your Bottleneck?
❌ Discovery blind spots: Features ship. Users don't care.
❌ Experimentation chaos: Random tests. Wasted engineering cycles.
❌ Strategy disconnect: Roadmap doesn't connect to ARR or retention.
❌ Team scaling pains: Junior PMs floundering while you play bottleneck.
❌ Technical debt spirals: No one bridging product vision with engineering.

🚀 The Leader You Need
I'm Darpan. I turn chaotic shipping into systematic, revenue-connected growth.

I started as an engineer. I've written code, built data pipelines, and shipped from both sides. That foundation means I collaborate on architecture, speak fluently about APIs and tradeoffs, and spot technical risks before they derail timelines.

My approach: customer discovery, data-driven experimentation, and cross-functional alignment that ships.

✅ What You Get
Product Vision → Revenue
I define strategy tied to ARR, retention, and expansion. Every feature traces to business impact.

Discovery-Driven Development
Systematic JTBD research, behavioural analytics, journey mapping. No more guessing.

Experimentation Culture
Data-driven frameworks that validate bets before you burn engineering hours. 20+ experiments/month at enterprise scale.

Cross-Functional Alignment
I align engineering, design, sales, and leadership. Influence without authority is how growth-stage companies ship.

Team Multiplier
6+ PMs coached to senior proficiency by building frameworks, not just giving feedback.

Technical Fluency
ETL pipelines, ML models, API architecture. I bridge product vision with engineering reality.

🏆 Proof
→ 60x user growth: 1K to 60K+ DAUs in 2 years (FinTech SaaS)
→ 75% ARR increase via systematic experimentation
→ 2x conversion rates on $4B B2B portfolio
→ 75%+ customer retention YoY
→ 75% efficiency gain via AI/ML features
→ 80% faster onboarding: 3 weeks → 4 days

🔧 How I Operate
Discovery-first. 
Every roadmap decision traces to user evidence and business impact. 
I build systems that outlast me, partner with engineering, coach PMs, ship fast, and iterate relentlessly.

⚠️ The Cost of Waiting
Every quarter without systematic discovery = features users ignore. 
Competitors with experimentation cultures compound learnings. 
You're still guessing.
