I'm Prakhar — a product leader with 10+ years across blockchain, fintech, gaming, and banking. I build at the intersection of DeFi infrastructure, agentic AI, and financial systems — turning complex protocol mechanics into elegant user experiences.
Started as a software developer, transitioned into product — now building at the intersection of AI and financial infrastructure.
I've recently joined Animoca Brands as Director of Product, working on AIR Money — a financial infrastructure platform I'm positioning as the "financial OS for the agentic economy." Previously, I led product at KyberSwap, one of the leading multi-chain DEX aggregators in DeFi.
I've been part of teams at all scales — from early-stage startups to multinationals like Credit Suisse and Ubisoft. I like working on big visions and the small details that make them real.
My current obsession: how AI agents need financial infrastructure to act autonomously — and what it means to build the payment rails, wallets, and policy engines that make that possible.
The mental models and convictions I bring to every product I work on.
Strip the protocol away from the user. Every layer of complexity you expose is a conversion you've already lost. My job is to absorb the hard parts so the product feels obvious — even when the underlying system isn't.
I write the document before the first mockup is drawn. Specs force clarity, surface unstated assumptions, and make async teams move faster — especially in the fast-moving world of DeFi and crypto infrastructure.
Gasless limit order cancellation felt niche. It became a defining DeFi UX moment. The weird edge case today is often the mainstream use case of tomorrow — so I pay close attention to what power users are hacking around.
Every product I run has a north star metric. Not three — one. 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.
Features deprecate. Systems compound. I design for integrations, data flywheels, and network effects — not just the next sprint. KyberSwap's 300+ liquidity source integrations didn't happen by accident; they were a distribution strategy.
The best infrastructure products don't look like consumer products yet. I look for where the foundational rails are missing, not where the applications are crowded. That's where leverage lives — and where the next category gets defined.
DeFi protocols, trading tools, financial infrastructure, and AI-native applications — across multiple chains and industries.
Building the financial infrastructure layer for AI agents — programmable wallets, policy engines, and settlement rails. Positioning AIR Money as the "Stripe for AI agents" with MAS-regulated infrastructure and yield-bearing stablecoin (USD8) at its core.
Yield-bearing stablecoin built on M0 infrastructure with Wormhole cross-chain bridging. Led PRD, swap widget integration, and enterprise marketing strategy.
Top-3 aggregator in DeFi with 300+ liquidity source integrations across 14 blockchains. Gave traders superior prices by solving fractured liquidity.
On-chain + off-chain data aggregation across multiple chains condensed into actionable trading insights. Led development of the full analytics product suite.
On-chain limit orders settled by KyberSwap's taker network. First-of-its-kind gasless order cancellation feature — a novel DeFi UX innovation.
Built 2 concentrated liquidity protocols enabling LPs to earn passive income. Developed full yield farming suite with multiple incentive mechanisms.
Suite of trading APIs and widgets for partners. Integrations with Metamask, Defillama, Unibot and 50+ other protocols using the KyberSwap Aggregator API.
Risk-focused portfolio management with liquidity profiling and volatility scoring for on-chain traders. Designed for advanced DeFi users.

The tools and agents powering my day-to-day as a product leader in 2025.
I built my own Claude-based AI agent to automate product management work — drafting user stories, generating PRD sections, running competitive research, and synthesizing user feedback. It's my live experiment in what agentic product management looks like in practice.
Active · Claude-poweredMy PRD home base. I use Notion AI to draft specs, auto-generate meeting summaries, and pull relevant context from past documents. Writing a new PRD now starts with a prompt, not a blank page.
I use Claude Code to write scripts, prototype features, and automate repetitive PM tasks — without needing an engineering sprint. This very portfolio was built with it.
AI-generated UI mockups from a text prompt. I use Pencil to sketch product ideas visually before involving design — cutting the gap between concept and feedback loop.
I consume research papers, competitor docs, and long reads at 2–3× speed. Async knowledge absorption without blocking deep work time.
Figma for design reviews and spec handoffs. FigJam for async product brainstorms, user flow mapping, and remote workshops across time zones.

Interested in roles where I can build at the intersection of AI, finance, and crypto. Open to VP of Product, Product Director, and Chief Product Officer conversations.
