Bio
Sheece Baghdadi
I saw Ankit transform from being a lawyer to a product manager, and it was a pleasure to bear witness. He is passionate about his ideas and would not give up a debate until easily convinced. He was at the heart of building some really cool legaltech products at Riverus.
Akshaj Dave
Ankit and I both started working with Riverus since its inception. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on various products spanning multiple domains of Income Tax, GST, and Contracts. I am very happy to see him grow into one of the best Product Managers from a 360 degree perspective. All the way from product road maps with critical feature thinking, to handling the Data Science team (not to forget the legal data that comes with it), to finally coordinating with the Product Engineering team, in order to ship out complete products. The best part about him is that he tries to understand things from each teams perspectives and then thinks in ways to align everyone together. He is not scared to get his hands dirty, be it helping the Data Science team annotate information for model building or learning SQL in order to understand and test various aspects of Engineering. Ankit has grown to be successful at driving products to completion, bringing in the motivation when needed, and always staying at the top of things. He brings with him the right kind of energy and attitude that is required to lead a team of professionals to achieve collective goals. I hope we get to collaborate on amazing projects in the future.
