I am a Lead Product Owner. Platform Strategist. AI-Powered PM. Builder, not just owner. Outcomes obsessive.

I'm Koushik Mukherjee, Lead Product Owner with 13+ years in B2B SaaS platform transformation, cloud modernization, and customer-led product strategy. I sit at the bridge between executives who want outcomes, engineers and UX who need clarity, and customers whose behavior should shape the roadmap.

01✦The story✦

PM instincts.
Founder hands.

I focus on driving measurable growth by balancing platform scalability, Product-Led Growth, and cross-functional delivery to improve user activation, adoption, and operational efficiency.

If a product has lots of moving parts, I keep them well-oiled.

At Cytel, I led the transformation of East Horizon from a legacy desktop application into a scalable B2B SaaS platform, contributing to 15% YoY revenue growth through customer-insight-led roadmap planning and outcome-focused prioritization. Before that, a decade at TCS taught me how enterprise transformation actually works: SAP S/4HANA migrations, cloud modernization across 6 apps, and coaching teams to 30% higher Agile maturity.

I don't just oversee. I build. AI agents that hand product owners back hours every week, a productivity app shipped to real users, automation that removes follow-up busywork. Data guides my decisions, and I treat process as an advantage, not overhead.

PRINCIPLE 01

Outcomes over output

Roadmaps earn their place by moving activation, adoption, and revenue, not by shipping tickets.

PRINCIPLE 02

Customers shape the roadmap

Discovery, feedback loops, and behavioral data decide what gets built next.

PRINCIPLE 03

Automate the toil

If a workflow steals hours from product thinking, I build an agent to take it back.

02✦How I operate✦

A toolkit built for platform & growth.

Seven disciplines, one operating system: pair product strategy with applied AI and disciplined delivery to ship things that move the numbers.

04✦Products & prototypes✦

Things I’ve built, not just shipped.

Each one starts from a real problem, gets scoped like a product, and ships as fast as the smallest useful version allows.

Culture Compass

Prototype
Problem
Engagement surveys measure mood once a year; workplace toxicity and mental-health strain go unseen until people leave.
Built
An organizational tool to understand employee mental health and act on it: problem framing, user discovery, and a prioritized roadmap, prototyped on no-code AI tooling.
Outcome
Full PRD + interactive prototype demonstrating discovery-to-MVP product thinking.

MRC: Market Research Companion

Prototype
Problem
Early-stage market research for B2C products is slow, expensive, and usually skipped when teams need it most.
Built
A customized chatbot that acts as a research companion, with structured prompts that turn fuzzy questions into usable market insight.
Outcome
Working prototype compressing days of desk research into a guided conversation.
Open Chatbot arrow_outward

Weekly PM Digest

Automation
Problem
Keeping up with product management and AI moves fast, and manual curation eats the hours it's supposed to save.
Built
A newsletter powered by Claude Haiku and fully automated in GitHub. It curates, summarizes, and ships the week's most useful PM + AI updates.
Outcome
A zero-touch weekly publication. The pipeline runs itself so the thinking time goes to readers, not logistics.

Daily LinkedIn Writing Agent

Automation
Problem
Writing daily in public builds a product voice, but consistency dies the first busy week.
Built
An AI agent that supports a daily LinkedIn writing practice: research, drafting structure, and publishing cadence, automated.
Outcome
A sustained daily writing streak on product thinking, powered by a repeatable system instead of willpower.

Weekly PM Jobs Agent

Automation
Problem
Good PM roles are scattered across boards and feeds, and manually scanning them weekly is pure toil.
Built
An agent that scans, filters, and curates relevant product management openings into a weekly digest, automated in GitHub.
Outcome
Hours of job-hunt scanning reduced to one weekly read. Toil automated, signal kept.
