Shyam Prasad S

I’m a Product Owner and Founder with over five years of experience at the intersection of product management, marketing, AI, and data analytics. With a BE in Mining Engineering and an MS in AI/ML from IIITB, my journey is defined by curiosity, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to delivering user-centric solutions. I’ve built and scaled products from scratch—driving everything from roadmap planning and strategic hiring to market research, customer onboarding, and team leadership.

From Curiosity to Impact

Founder & Product Owner - piCake

I built piCake from the ground up, acting as founder, investor, and product owner. I crafted the full product roadmap, scaled the team from zero to 20 (including C-level hires), and led market validation by engaging with 100+ business leaders and customers. This hands-on approach fueled the successful launch of our L&D SaaS platform and onboarded over 20 SMBs, ensuring every facet—from development to customer success—drove growth and innovation.

Senior Executive, Analytics - Cloudstrats

At Cloudstrats Academy, I transformed our data science and analytics program by launching low-bandwidth courses for remote learners, which boosted our reach and lead conversion. I implemented a reward-based management system to reduce drop-offs and built a high-performing Customer Success team along with an internal sales incentives program, elevating CSAT to 60%. This role was all about using data-driven strategies to create an inclusive and impactful learning environment.

Data Science Associate - SkilloVilla

In my role at SkilloVilla, I leveraged daily footfall data to drive user retention and enhance engagement. I launched “Labs,” a zero-CAC initiative that increased footfalls by 20%, and introduced an anonymous flagging feature to foster transparency and continuous improvement. This data-driven approach not only boosted retention but also solidified our commitment to a superior user experience.
