Amit was a wonderful manager, and I was lucky enough to work under him for 1.5 years. He has that quality of pushing everyone around him to reach their full potential. He created a product culture which inspired us to think beyond our current projects and motivated us in learning things that extended beyond the role of a PM. He used to invest a lot in every PM, personally overseeing their growth as a product owner. Amit was critical in setting up the right product practices and processes for the team, which helped every PM to take up quarterly & yearly goals and also helped them in achieving them. He not only built a world class product team but also played the most decisive role in rebuilding the whole product function in the organisation. It's rare to find a product leader like Amit who is obsessed about the growth of the company and his team with the same vigour.

I reported directly to Amit at dineout and Nykaa. One of my primary reasons to join dineout was Amit because of his clear vision and a leader mindset. While working at dineout, I loved the way he managed the team. Despite being the CPO, he made sure to not only elevate the product at dineout but also the dineout brand. He is an excellent mentor who made sure that each and every member of the team grows along with the company. I saw him invest a great amount of effort to establish a healthy work culture. Due to a great learning experience with Amit at dineout, his leadership qualities, and product vision, I decided to join his team at Nykaa. Again at Nykaa, I was impressed by his direction, clarity of thought, and building a product oriented culture. Despite being at a leadership level, he has a very hands-on approach and yet gives full autonomy to his team. Given an opportunity, I would surely love to work again with Amit as every day, and every call with him is a new learning experience! He is one of the best product leaders that I've worked with and got an opportunity to learn. I highly recommend him, and I'm sure that he can build great products, an awesome product culture, and drive product lead growth; which he has already demonstrated in his multiple leadership stints!

Exceptional Product leader and mentor! I have worked under Amit’s guidance at OYO. Being fresh out of campus, I was very new to the product world and Amit has helped me in providing valuable mentorship in every skillset of PM job - be it stakeholder management, customer obsession or Prioritisation etc. Amit pushed us hard on setting the right priority for the charter, identifying actual customer problems via customer research and go above and beyond for finding right solutions beyond the obvious. He also backed us with providing full product ownership and provide regular constructive feedback on course correction if needed. Extremely humble and down to earth person, I am very thankful to Amit for all the learnings during formative years of my PM career which has a huge impact and learnings I carry till date.

I feel privileged and lucky for having Amit as my manager during my stint at Dineout. I am forever grateful to Amit for taking a bet on me, trusting me with a lot of responsibilities, coaching me, pushing me to be a better product manager, and helping me succeed at work. I love the fact that Amit is honest, transparent and invests a lot in people who report to him. As a manager, he will not only point out areas of improvement but also ensures that people make progress. Amit inspires you to think big and not settle for less. His obsession with the growth of the company, lifting the standards of the team and building the right culture had been infectious, leading to the creation of a high-impact product team. I admire Amit for being a great product leader who inspired everyone in the organisation. I look forward to opportunities of working with Amit and learning from him in the future as well.

I got to work under Amit’s leadership at Oyo, when we partnered together to launch an innovative and complex product offering ‘Powerbreak’(booking a hotel room for less than 24 hours) to our users. I learnt the art of building products from Amit and will remain grateful for his coaching on some of the key product management skillsets - customer obsession, product evangelism and data driven decision making. Amit is a gem of a leader as he carries the complete product leadership toolkit - from laying out an inspiring product vision and mission, to defining an actionable product strategy, to building and nurturing top notch product teams and leading them with empathy and care - which brings out the best outcomes for the customers and the business.

When we look at all the experience at aspirational brands and colleges which Amit attended, it's was surprise to find Amit as extremely humble, approachable and down to earth human being with a Razor sharp focus, extremely high degree of customer backwards thinking and a strong business sense needed to build an impactful product and business. Amit gave a complete freedom to do whatever is needed to build the product, helped with constant feedback with constant course corrections and guidance to ensure we deliver successfully results. Constantly, pushing himself to do more than just what's in a usual product JD, looking at new avenues and business lines and also constantly be in touch with the customer are the learnings which I carry with me even today. It was an absolute privilege to work under Amits mentorship and thankfully can still reach out at any time for any personal or professional help!

In the very words of Marty Cagan, Amit is that leader who helped lift the PM team of Dineout from being an execution heavy feature PM team to a product strategy oriented PM team. Personally speaking he's the single most indispensable and influential thought leader in my PM journey who has left an indelible impression on me and has helped me evolve both as a PM and as a professional. Thanks to Amit’s keen observations and out of the box ideas, humane leadership and steady guidance and laser sharp focus on analytics and success metrics, we started focusing more on the end customers’ problems rather than on solutions, on outcomes rather than output. The result was a staggering change in attitude and deliverables whereby we were working on initiatives that actually moved the needle and was more fulfilling personally and professionally as they solved actual user problems. It was under his able leadership and constant support I was able to successfully launch SteppinOut Events by Dineout as a product led new line of business. The lifetime of experience and invaluable insights I gained working with him is something I treasure dearly and even today I turn to him in a beat, as a sounding board for both personal and professional advice and feedback. Anyone who had the good fortune of being a part of Amit’s team will vouch for him and would become a fan of his forever. Any day I would jump at the opportunity to work with and learn from him again. In conclusion as John C Maxwell once said Amit is that leader who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way …

Amit is an individual who is both patient and determined in his pursuit of knowledge. I am fortunate to have worked with Amit, for several product launches at Dineout for 1.5 years. His calming personality makes you feel very comfortable, always encouraging and positive. He’s full of ideas and has a sharp eye for art and design and is an accomplished cricket lover. He always has a creative, positive outlook and he’s adept at organizing and bringing people together. He possesses the rare combination of a strategic leader with an analytical mindset who knows how to implement swiftly and accurately. An inspirational person to work with and one of the few individuals I know that can think beyond individual goals and focus on making it big for not only for the company but for every individual out there. His greatest accomplishment was empowering his co-workers and reportees to delve deeper, understand the problem, and make informed decisions as well as implementing course corrections if necessary. As a leader with an excellent aptitude and attitude, I enjoyed working with him and learned from him as we built Dineout an intelligent discovery and decision-making platform I am thankful for the opportunity to have been part of his team and am proud to have had him as a mentor in my life.

When I moved to Canada, I was called 'lucky' to get 3 offers in 1st month in the field of Content Design/UX Writing. I don't think it was just luck. I put in a lot of work to showcase my skills through my website and interviews. Now, I wouldn't have been able to do so if I haven't had the opportunity to work on different content related projects at Dineout. Amit deserves a lot of credit for that. In a span of 1 year that I worked in his team, he changed my job (and even thinking) from a technical writer to a full fledged product content lead. I used to laugh, get nervous and excited listening to his ideas; not because they were crazy, but because he expected me to lead those projects and pull it off. Working with Amit gave me the confidence I never imagined I'd have. We all need that push and motivation from a person who trusts us and is willing to give you the control. There are managers who don't let you to grow and want you to just stick to the tasks; and then there are leaders like Amit who will make you see your own potential, even if you have never wanted to acknowledge it yourself. If you are in his team, just trust the process. It is going to bring the best out of you. What you do with it later is all in your hand.

An exceptional leader in true sense. I have worked under Amit’s guidance at OYO. His leadership style is very unique - he ensures he genuinely listens to his teammates, pushes & guides them to think, strategizes and builds for scale. Once he is convinced with an idea, he will give you complete ownership of the project and will help you with a constructive feedback throughout. He brings in a solid experience of working with multiple global leaders from the best brands and products in the world - this makes his thought process naturally innovative and customer oriented. Amit has truly been one of those inspiring managers who have left a noteable mark with his leadership.

Amit was my skip-level manager on the product team at Nykaa. Working with him was an incredible learning experience. He led the team with both a big-picture perspective as well as a detail-oriented approach. This allowed him to balance business and product priorities, focusing on what was important. Amit has a very first-principles approach to product and brought a lot of product process rigour to the team, such as user testing, case studies, and competitor analysis. He pushed the team to add structure and deep thought to the product decisions we were making. What has stuck with me the most, however, and sets Amit apart as a leader, is how culture-oriented he is, both in terms of transforming the org into a tech-led one, and ensuring the growth and happiness of each of his team members. Amit’s superpower is being an incredibly empathetic listener, and he made an extraordinary effort to make time for consistent 1:1s with his team. During our overlap at Nykaa, Amit spent a lot of time with me, guiding me on my professional goals and growth, giving me concrete and structured feedback, and talking through my questions and concerns with transparency and care. It has been a privilege to work with and learn from Amit, and I really hope we get the chance to work together again.

I was part of Amit's team at Nykaa, leading product-led growth and martech charters. An aspect of his leadership that really stands out is his flexible approach - depending on the person on his team. There are people that need a lot of handholding, and there are others who want to run with complete freedom and empowerment - Amit enables both. He is very approachable, and spends time with each and every member of the team, at every level. He believes in forging lasting relationships, and is always willing to extend support to his team both at a personal and professional level. It's been an absolute privilege to have had an opportunity to work with Amit. My best wishes to him for the journey ahead.

I got the chance to work under Amit’s guidance at OYO & Nykaa on the Global consumer demand and Buying experience charters. I learnt valuable lessons in core product management skills from him - be it around building complex products from 0 to 1, MVP approach, assessing consumer feedback or evangelising the product. Moreover, he inspired me to push the boundaries and go the extra mile beyond the obvious solutions, which helped me to be a better product manager and brought out the best outcomes for the consumers and the business. Not only is he an exceptional Product leader with great analytical skills, but his warm, empathetic and down to earth demeanour made him very approachable and a great leader to work with.
