About Nikhil
Hi! I love working with people who are interested in cracking into Product Management/want to accelerate their PM career. After graduating with a Computer Science degree from Carnegie Mellon, I worked as a Software Engineer at Salesforce, and then jumped into entrepreneurship before transitioning into Product. I joined cult.fit (Indian Unicorn) as one of the founding employees and launched their online content Product across Physical Fitness (think Nike Fitness), Nutrition, and Mental Health (similar to Headspace). Post cult.fit, I led retention/growth initiatives at LinkedIn for 4 years,. Currently, I lead registration and new user experience for Nextdoor.
