Let's get to know me!
I’m Akriti Tewari, a product manager by day and I solve crimes at night (Shhh!). I head product at a student abroad platform, Adventum Student Living where we provide personalised counselling (UniScholars), financial assistance (UniCreds) & accommodation (UniAcco) to students globally.
As a senior product manager earlier, a typical day included replying to lots of Slack messages, synergising with the design, content and tech team, developing user centric attributes while optimising costs. My biggest passion is to build products that solve a pain point, are convenient for the user & also aesthetically pleasing.
Over the 6 years of my professional career, I have worked as a software developer with Citi India [2018-2021] in 2 different business units in 3 different teams with 4 distinct technology stacks. As I progressed, I learnt to network, communicate effectively and collaborate. In a short span of time, I created a brand for myself - partnering with regional and global leads at Citi.
I then moved on to manage inventory and replenishment product at BlinkIt (formerly Grofers) - a quick commerce company. I learnt to deliver in fast paced timelines with a dynamic set of peers.
Apart from work, I love learning new things. Some of the latest additions to my skill set are Drumming, Playing Ukulele, creating Mandala Art and Dance fitness routines! Check out "All Play and No Work" tab :)

What I do
Think. Build. Collaborate. Repeat.
As a group product manager, I solve problems & product vision for a fast moving, high impact study abroad platform. A typical day includes looking at data dashboards, team discussions for product planning & execution and liaising with department heads to ensure alignment towards & achievement of business objectives. I am a huge advocate for Diversity, Inclusion & Equity (gender, age, ability, race) and participate in a number of global initiatives.
