Ankit Daftery

Hi, I am Ankit Daftery. I am presently looking for the next meaningful problem to solve, and the team / organisation to solve it with.

I enjoy building products and experiences that ease interactions and bring convenience by stitching together systems.

I have previously worked with diverse teams at PhonePe , early and mature, small and large, co-located and remote to provide

• the fastest QR Scan and Pay experience to tens of millions of customers
• reliable payment confirmation to merchants through 4 million+ SmartSpeaker devices and apps
• a productivity management app for managing more than 80000 on-ground-sales man-hours daily

I have experience taking products from idea -> research -> design -> GTM -> launch -> scale.

I also have experience with the entire lifecycle of building and deploying electronic products as well as distributing and tracking logistics using software.

This includes

• prototyping
• circuit design and component selection
• design for manufacturing
• procurement and contract manufacturing
• firmware design and development
• IoT connectivity
• firmware updates
• telemetry and device operations

When I am not working, I am reading finance, psychology and sci-fi / learning Mandarin / building glowing orbs of light.
