I’m Reshma.

A Senior Product Manager, based in Bengaluru, India.

I started out as a software developer at SAP, spending seven years deep in enterprise UI frameworks — shipping code used across thousands of applications, filing two patents, and slowly realising the question I actually cared about wasn’t “how do we build this” but “why are we building this at all.” A business degree at ISB and a jump to product later, that question is still the job.

These days I lead platform product at ThoughtSpot — identity, multitenancy, and the unglamorous infrastructure that makes everything else possible. I care more about the decisions nobody sees than the demo everybody claps for.

Experience

ThoughtSpot

Aug 2024 – Present

Senior Product Manager

  • Reframed ThoughtSpot's platform strategy as the OS of ThoughtSpot — organised around themes (Object Lifecycle, Governance, Security, Scalability) rather than feature lists
  • Built Collections from zero to launch — owned discovery, solutioning, and GTM; reframed the customer ask from folders to enterprise content governance
  • Delivered advanced IAM, MFA across multiple authenticators, and SCIM for automated user provisioning — cut AuthN/AuthZ incidents 92% (120→10)
  • Built email customisation APIs and a template editor for white-label deployments — drove 30% WAU retention across 75% of the customer base
  • Redesigned the admin portal from a config centre into an insight-driven product for the IT-Ops persona, from inception to engineering handoff
  • Co-owned roadmap across Orgs, IAM, Collections, COMS, and admin experience — addressing gaps in multitenancy, content organisation, and enterprise security

Promoted to Senior PM in 1 year (3× standard pace) · Best Project, Codex'25 AI hackathon (1/35) · 100% Beta/EA uptake on Collections

  • Architected UI frameworks used across ~2,000 enterprise ERP applications globally, leading a team of 12 developers

I’d love to work together if you value

Good product work isn’t created in a vacuum, and it isn’t created by committee either. If any of this sounds like your team, I’d love to talk.

01

Say no with data

I use lightweight frameworks to kill good ideas in favour of great ones — and I'd rather ship one thing well than three things adequately.

02

Design for people who don't read

Nine years in B2B SaaS taught me: users don't read, they don't explore, and they're usually right. I design for the path they'll actually take.

03

Ship the work, not the deck

I'd rather have something small and real in front of a customer than a polished pitch still in review.

Outside of work

I’m a mother of twins, which means most of my “free time” is a negotiation. When I do carve some out, I’m planning a trip around the world (or around a good stationery shop), filling journals, or sketching whatever city I’ve landed in that week.
