Product Lead · Singapore

I'm Prakhar - a product lead with over a decade building products across digital assets, fintech, and banking. I've shipped consumer and enterprise products trusted by hundreds of thousands spanning stablecoins, crypto wallets, high throughput trading platforms, and yield primitives. I've also built product teams from scratch and have a knack for finding clarity in ambiguous spaces.

How I got here

I currently lead several products at Animoca Brands that sit at the intersection of consumer and enterprise crypto — a USD backed stablecoin, digital asset wallet, crypto SDK capabilities, and a new identity blockchain. Before this, I built and scaled KyberSwap as Head of Product, taking it to $100B in cumulative trading volume and achieving 10x growth in MAU. Earlier in my career, I held product and engineering roles at Thought Machine, Ubisoft, and Credit Suisse.

My background started in software engineering, which means I can often approach product problems from both a technical and strategic lens. Across my career, I've worked in early-stage startups, high-growth scale-ups, and large institutions. I've built product teams from the ground up, established processes that help teams ship with clarity, and developed a track record of aligning stakeholders across various functions.

2 areas occupy most of my thinking right now. First is tokenization in the digital assets space, where I see significant untapped potential in bringing real-world assets into more liquid and programmable forms. And the second, I've been integrating AI deeply into my own product workflows, using it to move faster, prototype earlier, and create more room for strategic thinking.

How I build

The mental models and convictions I bring to every product I work on.

Know the user before knowing the product

The biggest mistakes in product come from building for an assumed user rather than a real one. I spend time understanding who we are building for, their context, their frustrations, and how they actually make decisions, before committing to a direction.

Complexity is a UX debt

Every layer of complexity we expose is a user we have already lost. I love the challenge of simplifying hard products for consumers, taking something technically dense and making it feel obvious. My job is to absorb the hard parts so the product feels simple.

Validate before we build

The gap between what users say and what they do is where the real insight lives. I try and push for lightweight validation and prototypes before committing to a build. It's the cheapest way to find out we are wrong.

Spec before the first mockup

I write the document before the first mockup is drawn. Specs force clarity, surface assumptions nobody had bothered to say out loud, and help teams move faster. They also force the hard decisions early, before they get expensive.

Saying no is a product strategy

Every yes is a commitment of time, attention, and engineering. The roadmap is defined as much by what we cut as what we ship. This is something I'm still working on, but getting better at.

Own one number

Every product I run has a north star metric. Everything else is context. Clarity on what success looks like is the difference between a team that ships with purpose and one that just ships.

Working with AI

AI tools and workflows powering my day-to-day as a product lead.

01. Ideation

WisprFlow

We speak 2× faster than we type. I use WisprFlow to dictate ideas straight into clean prompts, getting concepts out of my head and into a format I can act on immediately.

02. Planning, Specs & Research

Notion AI

My PRD home base. I use Notion AI to structure problem statements, surface assumptions, and generate specs. By the time it reaches engineering, the brief is tight and the gaps are already closed.

03. Discovery & Prototyping

Claude Design

AI-generated mockups from a text prompt. I use Claude Design together with Pencil to visualise ideas during discovery, making concepts tangible before involving design, fast enough to get real feedback early.

04. Build & Validate

Claude Code

I use Claude Code to build prototypes and validate concepts without waiting on engineering. It's changed how I think about the PM-to-eng handoff. This entire portfolio was vibe coded with Claude, every line of it.
