I am Ankit Daftery
I currently work as a Senior Product Manager for Recharges and Bill Payments at PhonePe.
I have previously worked extensively on the Consumer and Merchant experiences for offline payments,
spanning SmartSpeaker and other devices, Scan and Pay, payment links, productivity management for field agents and more.
I enjoy building products, experiences and devices that ease interactions and bring convenience.
When I am not working, I am reading finance, psychology and sci-fi / learning Mandarin / building glowing orbs of light.
I ponder why people, organizations and markets behave the way they do.
