I am Gouri Lekshminarayanan, a Product Leader and Builder with 7+ years of experience delivering high-impact software, hardware, and consumer products.

I specialize in scaling complex systems from 0→1 and 1→N, with a core focus on full-stack enterprise platforms that solve deep operational challenges. My experience spans education, manufacturing, and civic tech, where I have successfully delivered everything from large-scale B2B software to a D2C toy brand and patented wearable technology. I excel at bridging the gap between technical complexity and user-centric design to drive operational scale.

Currently, I am sharpening my strategic lens at IIM-Bangalore (EGMP), preparing to lead product organizations through the next wave of digital transformation.
