Hey, I’m Shravan Tickoo — founder of Rethink Systems, a community-led SaaS and education platform that helps operators and founders build real, scalable powered products from first principles 

I’ve spent the last 10+ years across Flipkart, BlackBuck, Times Group, BYJUs and as Director of Product at Bhanzu, learning how clarity of thought, empathy, and systems thinking separate good products from great ones.

At Rethink Systems, we’ve built one of India’s largest product management communities — with 190K+ learners on LinkedIn, 45K+ on YouTube, and over 500+ professionals now working at Microsoft, Google, Meta, Uber, LinkedIn, FedEx, and multiple unicorns.

Our flagship program, Mastering Product Management 2.0 cohort help PMs learn AI-first execution, design thinking, and real-world product building — using tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma, n8n, and Webflow.
Every learner leaves with shipped artifacts, not just notes.

As a teacher, I’ve lectured at IITs, IIMs, Masters’ Union, and NTU Singapore, and built a curriculum that blends the Bhagavad Gita’s wisdom with modern product execution — where clarity, detachment, and discipline shape better builders.

As an angel investor, I’ve backed 15+ startups across India, the US, Canada, Pakistan, and Bangladesh in healthtech, edtech, SaaS, and consumer tech.

At my core, I’m a first-principles thinker who believes:

“If you do the boring things well, long enough, you win by default.”

Outside of work, you’ll find me reading on systems design, psychology, AI, and growth, or writing frameworks that simplify the chaos of modern tech. I also run SWAG WALA PM, where I teach through stories, memes, and lived experience.

If you’re building something that matters — or want to discuss AI, product strategy, or distribution — drop me a note at shravantickoo23@gmail.com

📚 Also, I have an unreasonable number of books. Happy to trade recommendations.

The future of work isn’t about being present.
It’s about being effective. ❤️ 

And too many leaders still confuse the two.

Most managers don’t want productivity.
They want visibility.

We’ve reached a point where companies track badge swipes and green dots just to verify that employees are active.

It’s a race to the bottom.

When you measure presence instead of outcomes, you don’t get better results.
You get exhausted employees who become experts at looking busy.

In a hybrid world, this obsession with visibility is a silent killer.

We’re so focused on seeing people “at their desks”
that we’ve forgotten how to build systems that actually enable work.

Real productivity isn’t a badge swipe.
It’s a culture of frictionless flow,

where technology supports the human - not the other way around.

If leadership is still using 2010 monitoring tactics for a 2026 workforce,
it’s time for a strategy reset.

That’s why I’m partnering with Zoom for the Productivity Summit APAC on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.

We’re moving past the visibility trap
to discuss how modern tools and AI can drive real efficiency
without micromanagement.

What they are covering:

- Aligning technology to support both employee and organizational productivity
- Making collaboration seamless across locations, minus the coordination tax
- Leveraging Zoom’s tools to drive results — not just activity

So are you joining live on the 25th?

Let’s stop tracking swipes
and start tracking impact. ❤️
