About Hoshank
Senior Product Manager with 8+ years spanning AI-driven platforms, AdTech, and B2B SaaS. Currently at InMobi, previously at Pixis and Dell. I build products at the intersection of AI, data, and growth.
I started as an engineer at Dell, won a few hackathons, and shipped supply-chain platforms that saved tens of millions of dollars. I moved into product management because the most interesting problems weren't technical. They were about deciding what to build and why.
At Pixis I led the platform team behind a creative-generation product that scaled from zero to $10M ARR in five months, and earlier built the data platform processing 1M+ keywords/day for 400+ enterprise customers. At InMobi I now own the central data repository, the system of record for billions of daily ad events across 200M+ devices.
Currently pursuing an Executive MBA in Finance at Liverpool John Moores University to sharpen the business and capital-allocation lenses I bring to product decisions.
What I do
AI & ML product strategy
From RAG systems and copilots to creative-generation pipelines, translating model capabilities into shipped, monetizable product.
Zero-to-one platforms
Took an AI creative platform from $0 → $10M ARR in five months and led data infrastructure serving 200M+ devices.
Data & decision systems
Owned reconciliation, governance, and self-serve analytics for revenue-critical workloads. Cut month-end close from 5 days to 12 hours.
Cross-functional leadership
Built and scaled pods of engineers, APMs, and designers; partnered with finance, GTM, and AI research at InMobi, Pixis, and Dell.
How I work
Outcomes over outputs
I obsess over the metric, not the feature. If we ship and nothing changes, we didn't ship.
Engineer-trained PM
I came up as a software engineer, so I read code, write SQL, and don't outsource technical judgement.
Default to writing
Specs, memos, and decision docs. If it's not written down, it didn't happen.
Customer in the room
15+ voice-of-customer interviews per launch. Qualitative is a leading indicator that data alone misses.
