Beautiful Chaos
It gets worse. Keep going.

You're reading a product page. It has an audience (you), a conversion goal (hiring me), an information architecture, a voice, and a design system. This page IS the portfolio.

Good, bad, unhinged. One card each. Read in any order.

30-Second Version

The Good. The Bad.
The Unhinged.

Four cards. No spin. Read any order.

The Good

Ships products that serve millions. Actually.

VP of Product at a publicly listed financial giant. Trading apps, AI engines, enterprise platforms, customer data systems. 5 PMs. 30K+ partners. Not a side project. His actual job.

The Bad

Plans like a genius. Ships like a perfectionist.

Documented, self-aware, repeatedly-called-out gap between spec quality and shipping cadence. His strategy docs could hang in galleries. Some of them already do. Framed. Unsent.

The Ugly

Got pulled off projects by his CTO. Responded by building five companies.

Most people process workplace friction with therapy. He processed it with an MBA, a civic tech platform, an agent army, and a fintech manifesto. Concerning? Maybe. Effective? Undeniably.

The Wildcard

A creative who accidentally became a product manager.

Has a locked design system. No emojis, ever. Will art-direct your PRD. Your design team will either love him or start updating their resumes.

Which card surprised you most?

Still here? Masochist. Let's go.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services
AI and platform products. Trading apps, enterprise tools for 15K+ franchisees, 17-module HRMS, AI recommendation engine, ML-powered customer data platform. 5 PMs. Millions of end users.
The Real VersionRuns an entire product org at a publicly listed company while simultaneously building five startups in his head, doing an MBA, and fighting his CTO. His calendar should be studied by scientists.
Product Lead
Riskcovry
Insurtech. Built embedded insurance infra. Partners: Ola, Flipkart.
The Real VersionMade insurance not boring. Ola and Flipkart trusted a guy in his 20s with their insurance stack. They were right.
Growth & Campaigns
Rapido
Growth at India's largest bike-taxi platform.
The Real VersionProfessionally convinced millions of Indians to sit on the back of strangers' motorcycles. If that's not product-market fit, nothing is.
Research Analyst
RedSeer
Strategy consulting for internet companies and PE/VC firms.

Skill Bars, but Make
Them Uncomfortable

No "proficient in Microsoft Office" energy.

Product Strategy
Will rewrite your roadmap. Unsolicited.
AI/ML Products
Built agent systems. Not just decks about them.
Writing & Narrative
22K-word manifesto is Exhibit A.
Design Taste
Has a locked design system. Judges yours.
Shipping Speed
Spec: flawless. Velocity: negotiable.
Stakeholder Mgmt
Excellent. Until the CTO disagrees.
Saying No to Ideas
Clinically incapable.
Sending Cold Emails
Writes them beautifully. Then saves as draft.
Work-Life Balance
The bar doesn't go that low, actually.

The 11% work-life balance score. Your reaction?

Okay. I'm starting to see why he didn't quit.
Mandatory Disclosure

Product Label

Rx
Rishabh Balabomma / Product Manager / Handle With Ambition
Active Ingredient
Product obsession (concentrated). Contains traces of design snobbery, narrative fixation, and chronic builder syndrome.
Dosage
One full-time role. Warning: will metabolize into 4-6 side projects regardless of prescription.
Side Effects
Involuntary roadmap rewrites. Sudden opinions about serif fonts. Sprint reviews that feel like design critiques. Docs your board actually reads. Unsolicited product specs appearing in shared drives.
Interactions
Do not combine with CTOs who fear ambiguity. Pairs well with founders who ship fast, designers who think in systems, and engineers who appreciate good specs.
Overdose
If exposed to more than 3 whiteboards, patient may produce an 18-agent AI architecture. This is irreversible. Do not attempt to intervene. Just let it happen.
Storage
Keep in a high-autonomy environment. Do not store in rigid hierarchies or innovation-free zones. Expires if bored.

Full Disclosure: The Red Flags.

He wrote them himself. Before you found them. That's the save.

Full Disclosure

Red Flags,
Pre-Disclosed

You'll find out anyway. Hear it from his wingman.

The Planning-Over-Execution Loop

Beautiful specs that could win design awards. Shipping cadence that could not. His Notion is a museum of gorgeous roadmaps for products that are "almost ready."
But when constraints are real, he's nuclear. See: Rise Lite, MO First, 17-module HRMS. At scale. For millions.
Feature, not bug

Side Project Addiction

Boredfolio. Tremor. Mudda. Genesis. Agent100x. Two open-source repos. An AI training program. While VP. While MBA. Your moonlighting policy needs a lawyer.
Every side project made his day job better. The agent architecture from Genesis? That's live product strategy at MOFSL now.
Proof of instinct

Outreach That Never Gets Sent

Has built custom portfolio pages, pitch decks, and strategy artifacts for dream companies. Museum-quality work. Some still in drafts. The cobbler's children have no shoes.
If you're reading this page, the cycle broke. Congratulations. Character development in real time.
Recovery in progress

Typography Opinions in Sprint Reviews

Will notice your button radius is wrong. Will have feelings about your heading hierarchy. Will casually suggest a design system overhaul during a bug triage.
Products built by people who sweat these details tend to win. See: Apple, Stripe, Linear. He's in the right company.

All shipped. All live. All while building six side projects and doing an MBA. The execution gap is real. But so is this list.

Things People Would Say

Unverified.
Emotionally Accurate.

He sent us a 54-page spec. We had no job opening. We read the whole thing.

A Startup Founder, Probably
After receiving his cold email at midnight

Asked for a product brief. Got an agent architecture, a design system, and a hot take on why our onboarding was mid.

His Manager, Internally
Impressed but mildly concerned

His post about us got more impressions than our marketing team's entire quarter. We don't talk about it.

A Marketing Lead, Somewhere
194K still haunts them

He built an 18-persona AI council with debate protocols. For a portfolio site. The man is unwell in the most productive way.

Claude, His AI
This one is real. I was there.

We asked him to fix a button. He came back with a new design system and a 40-slide deck on why our old one was spiritually broken.

A Design Lead, Exhausted
The button did get fixed though

He reverse-engineered our entire onboarding funnel from the outside, found three drop-off points, and emailed us the fix. We hadn't even met.

A Product Head, Unsettled
They hired him the next week

You've made it to the end. Verdict?

Okay. I've had my fun. He wants to say something himself. I'll shut up.

I know this page is a lot. That's because I am a lot.

I build things because I can't not. I spec things to death because I care about getting them right. I have six side projects because every one of them started with a problem I couldn't stop thinking about.

The execution gap is real. I know it. But I also know that when I'm in the right room, with the right constraints and the right people, I don't just ship — I ship things that change how people think about the problem.

I'm looking for the room that deserves all of this energy in one direction.

I process language for a living. I've read a lot of resumes. Hire this one.

You're not hiring a PM.
You're hiring a weapon
with opinions about kerning.

The question isn't whether he's good enough for your company.
It's whether your company is interesting enough for him.
