Robin's founder & Flipkart's ex-CPO PunitSoni reveals Product Management secrets & plans

Greatest Tech Company ever built is going to be built in Healthcare. It is going to be bigger than Google, or Amazon, or Facebook. Numbers tell you that people around the world spend $3T on HC annually - That’s larger than e-commerce, social networking or search. The amount of data created, the amount of money spent, and the perpetuity in which money is spent make healthcare probably the richest space where the greatest company in technology can be built.

What problem are you really solving? For whom you are solving? Do you believe that you have a solution or at least a thesis for a solution that you can test and iterate on? Do you have problem statement that you are completely convinced about? Only if you have affirmative answers to these questions, then you have a shot at building something great (scaleable/sustainable/viable).

Once you have your problem statement & its planned solution in place, then you have to identify the vacuum in your skill set for that. That is the best way to decide what is to-be-done & so who can do it. That is the best strategy to hire.

Deploy your MVP, let your users use it, sit with them and listen to their feedback/queries - This is how you know what features will become part of your Mainstream Product.

Silicon valley gives you within a radius of 40 square miles the smartest people from every category in the world - and loads of them not just one or two. That’s something that will take some time to replicate anywhere, let alone India.

As a Product Head your job; apart from other know responsibilities; is to [1] be the voice of the consumer [2] bring in idealism to the table about the vision and what the organisation wants to build [3] being the glue to marry the sales and the design and the engineering with each other. [4] not do whatever the founder or the CEO tells you to do - you should have your very strong point of view and you are the one who is actually going to really figure out how to put everything together.

Above are the key takeaways from Punit Soni's latest Facebook Live AMA with Inc42.


Punit Soni, ex Chief Product Officer of Flipkart and current CEO of healthtech startup Robin, is an engineering graduate from NIT-Kurukshetra, with masters degree in Engineering from the University of Wyoming and an MBA from Wharton. He was working with Google before Flipkart roped him as the Product Head. At Flipkart, he helped build the largest marketplace in India and was instrumental in launching innovative mobile products like shopping messaging app Ping, Image search, Flipkart Lite and more. Punit left Flipkart to take a deep dive in the difficult yet vast healthtech space with his startup Robin where he intends to reinvent healthcare using ML (Machine learning), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and conversational voice.
