Role Overview:
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the launch and scaling of a new transactional
vertical built on top of one of India’s largest train-travel user bases. You will own the vertical end
to end: product vision, partner ecosystem, build, market launch, and P&L. This is a 0-to-1
builder role for someone who wants to own a line of business, not maintain a feature.
Key Responsibilities:
- Vertical Ownership: Own a new vertical end to end, from concept and roadmap through
launch, scale, and P&L.
- Partner & API Ecosystem: Evaluate and onboard API, aggregator, and partner
ecosystems; coordinate commercial discussions alongside leadership.
- Product Build: Work with engineering to design and build the search, booking, payment,
and post-booking stack.
- Rapid Prototyping: Use AI-assisted tools to build working prototypes and clickable flows
independently, compressing the time from idea to validation.
- MVP & Iteration: Define and ship an MVP, then iterate based on conversion, funnel, and
unit-economics data.
- Instrumentation & Measurement: Self-serve product instrumentation, set up event
tracking, and query the funnel directly (SQL, BI, or AI-assisted) without depending on
engineering for every data pull.
- Unit Economics: Own the unit economics of the vertical, including take rate, margin,
attach, and contribution.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, design, FinOps, and
support to deliver on time and within scope.
- Cross-sell & Growth: Drive cross-sell integration with RailYatri’s existing user base to
maximise conversion and attach.
- Post-Booking Experience: Own cancellations, refunds, and support flows for the vertical.
Key Skills & Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor’s/Master’s in Engineering, Computer Science, or Business.
Experience: 10+years in product management, with at least one 0-to-1 or new-vertical build,
preferably in OTA, travel-tech, or high-volume consumer transactional (B2C) platforms.
Business Acumen: Demonstrated ownership of a product P&L or clear contribution to one;
strong grasp of unit economics, funnel metrics, and conversion optimisation.
Technical & AI Fluency: Comfort working with APIs and technical integration discussions;
ability to write crisp PRDs. Hands-on with AI prototyping tools (v0, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, or
equivalent) and able to instrument and analyse product data independently using SQL and BI
tools (Metabase, Looker Studio, or equivalent), AI-assisted where useful.
Analytical & Communication Skills: Strong problem-solving, data analysis, and clear
communication for working across internal teams and external partners.Good to have: Prior exposure to aggregator/GDS APIs or insurance/VAS distribution;
experience in Tier 2/3-focused consumer products
Pay: ₹2,000,000.00 - ₹3,000,000.00 per year

- Have you worked with b2c mobile app?
- Have you worked on API integration, Mvp, iteration?
