Driving AI & EdTech innovation, from idea to GTM

About Me

Jagadeesh

I am a Product Manager with 5+ years of experience in building scalable EdTech and AI-driven solutions. My career journey started as a Software Engineer, where I built in-house LMS and assessment platforms at Tally Education. Transitioning into Product Management, I have since led AI Tutor and cloud-based learning innovations from concept to launch, driving measurable adoption and cost savings.

I bring a unique mix of technical depth (Python, Django, SQL) and product leadership (user research, lifecycle management, GTM execution), enabling me to work effectively with both engineering and business teams.
