I build products — sometimes for millions, sometimes just to see if I can.

I’m Anand — a product manager drawn to zero-to-one problems: emerging product areas where customer needs are still taking shape and there’s no established playbook.

At Microsoft, I build security products for the fastest-growing population in enterprise environments — OAuth apps, cloud identities, and now AI agents. It’s a space where the ground shifts constantly: emerging technologies like agentic AI, evolving customer needs, and open questions the industry hasn’t answered yet. It’s the kind of environment where product craft gets tested — and sharpened — every day: talking to customers relentlessly, using data to settle debates, and shipping early enough to learn.

I came to product from engineering — three years building consumer products as a software engineer before an MBA at XLRI and the move into PM.

Outside work, I build small projects — I tend to understand an idea better once I’ve actually made it, and AI-assisted development makes it easy to try one out over a weekend. Most of what’s on this site started that way.
