14 years of product building have taught me that the hardest product problems rarely belong to one function. They sit somewhere between customers, business, technology and people.
Start with customers, not features.
Find the problem worth solving.
See beyond the interface.
Bridge the two worlds.
Build trust before you need it.
Make hard things happen.
The products change. The way I approach the problem doesn't.
Start with the human behind the metric. Customers. Operators. Engineers. Business teams. Understand what they're trying to accomplish, where they're struggling and why it matters.
Move beyond "What feature should we build?" toward "What problem are we actually trying to solve?" Connect customer needs, business outcomes and technical realities. Make the trade-offs explicit.
Bring the right people into the problem. Create shared context. Make decisions. Unblock teams. Build trust. Then relentlessly drive toward an outcome that matters.
The work I'm proudest of has always been built with people, not by myself.
Guha led this initiative from PRFAQ to launch. Her planning and execution were commendable given the complex, multi-quarter technology effort spanning teams across India and worldwide.
Director, Technology
Amazon
Guha was at the forefront of some of our largest and most complex launches, bringing senior stakeholders together, navigating difficult trade-offs, and driving alignment. She combines clarity and intellectual honesty with the technical depth to quickly connect business needs with technology requirements.
Senior Marketing Leader
Amazon
Guhapriya led complex, high-impact product launches across multiple stakeholder groups, consistently elevating the right trade-offs and decisions. The boundaries between tech/product were seamless and the tech teams were highly leaning on her.

A few products that shaped how I think about customers, technology and product leadership.
Question
Can AI help coaches see what they might otherwise miss?
Building an AI copilot that turns unstructured coaching-session notes into grounded summaries and evidence-backed themes — while keeping humans in control of judgment.
Question
How do you balance transportation cost against the risk of failing to procure supply?
Adapting an existing US reinforcement-learning pricing model to launch spot truck procurement pricing in Japan.
Impact: 11% improvement in Japan spot-procurement costs
Question
How do you dramatically increase grocery selection when your fulfillment centers can't hold any more products?
We challenged a fundamental assumption: that everything in the Fresh experience needed to arrive at the same speed.
Impact: 7× selection expansion
Question
How do you turn fragmented last-mile operations into a scalable technology product?
Launching a cloud logistics platform and Android rider app connecting operations, riders and customers.
Impact: ~INR 1.5 crore annual savings · 40% increase in delivery CSAT
After years of building deterministic products, I'm going back to being a beginner — learning AI product management the same way I've learned product throughout my career: by building.
Problem
Start with the human problem—not the model. In CoachOS: help coaches create continuity from unstructured session notes.
AI behavior
Translate product intent into grounded summaries, candidate themes, structured outputs and explicit boundaries.
Trust
Validate evidence deterministically and keep the coach in control of editing, approval and judgment.
Evaluation
Build representative evals, calibrate human and automated evaluation, analyze failures and iterate.
The model suggests. The system validates. The human decides.
Explore CoachOSNotes from building products, learning AI and trying to understand people better.
Lessons from CoachOS customer discovery: collect evidence, explore real behavior, and look for reasons your idea might be wrong.
Understanding the real problem, making trade-offs, building trustworthy products and measuring outcomes.
Part 1 of building CoachOS: what I learned about scoping, grounding and trusting LLMs
Influence, trust, engineering partnerships and getting difficult things done.
I'm interested in building products where technology solves meaningful human problems — and working with people who care deeply about doing that well.
