Hi, I'm Mriganka 👋
Anything scary but worth doing,
takes only 20 seconds of insane courage
That pretty much sums me up.
My friends say that I am witty and caring. I believe them.
As a product marketing professional, I specialize in crafting sharp positioning and compelling narratives.
Always excited to bridge the gap between complex products and user needs.
Who am I?
In the last 3 decades, I have had the privilege of wearing different hats
An annoying younger brother
A bartender
A guitarist who played across the country
A solo traveller
A novice travel filmmaker
A professional product marketer
An actor for TV commercials
Founder of a pet care startup
I believe the middle of the spectrum is the most uninspiring position to be in.
That's why my tea is either 👍 extremely good or 👎 dump-it-down-the-drain bad.
Just like my humour.
What do I bring to the table?
I bring with me an almost relentless child like curiosity to solve problems.
Sometimes, I may fail. And sometimes it may take me a while to solve something.
Like, a while, while. It took me 3 failed ventures before finding a thin thread of success at my last venture.
I work superhard and enjoy working with people who value ethics, patience & kindness and are mission driven.
I can deal with pressure and deadlines
(with a sprinkle of last minute panic of course)
What did I learn from my failed startup?
I learnt:
- how to work in 0-1 environments
- to listen to everyone's advice, but take action based on my own evaluation and intuition
- that data is not the enemy of creativity
- to validate as many assumptions as you can, by talking to your users
- that mental health is very underrated and we need to take better care of ourselves
- and most importantly, that sometimes even if you do everything right, you can still fail. And that's okay.
