Rajeev B Pogaru

Founding Product Designer · India

I join early-stage B2B SaaS and fintech teams as the sole designer (no PM, no inherited system) and I ship. Five years of that. Tylt went 0 to $8M+ monthly. CrossRamp closed a fraud-submission gap with a verification layer that later extended to Brazil and Europe. TradingLeagues and TradingRooms both went from concept to live product.

Sole designer doesn't mean solo. I've worked with engineering to close out builds, with founders to set direction, and with external agencies when the work called for it.

I work across the full product surface: the flows, the logic, the edge cases, the system underneath the screens. I'm also building with AI: spec-first products, directed prototypes, AI as collaborator when I'm shaping the spec, contractor once the build starts. The builds section is where that lives.

Before product design, five years in clinical and biotech research: ICMR, ACTREC, Colgate-Palmolive. M.Sc. Biotechnology. The rigour carried over.
