Senior Product Manager | 0-to-1 B2B SaaS, B2C, AI and Platform Products
I build products and the businesses around them, from 0 to 1.
Country Head & Product Manager at FuelBuddy Zimbabwe. I opened the market from zero as its Product Manager and now run it end to end: P&L, procurement, logistics, sales and hiring. Before that I was a Product Manager at FuelBuddy India (vendor management, an IoT loss-control system for heavy industry and UPI checkout) and an APM at Legal Suvidha, a LegalTech SaaS. I own the P&L, not just the roadmap, and I still ship software myself.

- Market entry and P&L, from zero to 8 depots and 50+ B2B clients. Took a new country from zero to a live B2B business with 8 active depots and 50+ enterprise and regional clients. Launched the Zimbabwe B2B bulk-fuel business, setting up banking, procurement, credit, dispatch and reporting under written SOPs.
- Country Head and Product Manager from May 2026. Asked by the CEO to own the full P&L (procurement, logistics, sales, pricing and hiring) while keeping the product role.
- IoT loss-control platform for heavy industry (fuel), piloted at a major steel producer. An IoT loss-control pilot at a major Indian steel producer cut loss, theft and spillage over six months.
- UPI checkout for the B2B platform. Specified and shipped UPI Intent and QR checkout for the B2B platform, piloted internally with FuelBuddy's own teams: 2,000+ transactions in month one.
- Project Arjun with the GM and CEO. Partnered with the GM and CEO on Project Arjun, an EV and oil & gas retail infrastructure plan built on 100+ fleet and EV operator interviews; plan approved by leadership.
Written the way I run product reviews: problem first, evidence second, scope last. Confidential figures withheld.
| Case study | Format | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| FuelTracker: loss-control platform for industrial sites (fuel) | BRD | Field-evidence framing, outcome-based pricing, metrics with baselines |
| FleetOS: one app for fleet running costs | PRD | Platform bet, what has to be true, gated roadmap |
| Buddy Can: last-mile delivery model for telecom towers (diesel) | Operating model | Turning a logistics service into a repeatable product |
| Kids Wallet (8–16): UPI wallet with parental controls | Product case study | Two-sided fintech UX, trust and safety |
Products I've taken from field problem to PRD to working demo. Demos run on sample data and are not commercial products; Pravesh is a live app in testing ahead of launch. Each ships with PRD, BRD, MRD and spec in /docs.
| Product | Problem it solves | Links |
|---|---|---|
| 🧾 Bolt & Bahi | Textile traders run billing, stock, job work and receivables in notebooks. A local-first GST ledger that splits CGST, SGST and IGST automatically, with a built-in assistant and ten languages. | Case study · Demo · PRD · Repo |
| 📦 Dispatch OS | FMCG distributors take orders on WhatsApp and lose track of credit. B2B ordering that blocks orders breaching a retailer's credit limit and dispatches against live stock. | Case study · Demo · PRD · Repo |
| ⛽ Depotline | Depot operators juggle stock, pricing and fleet fuel logs across spreadsheets. One live view of stock, price, margin and fleet consumption. | Case study · Demo · PRD · Repo |
| 🧭 Msafara | Tour operators chase hotels and vendors by hand. An AI agent that drafts requests, follows up, negotiates within rules and builds client proposals over email and WhatsApp. | Case study · Demo · PRD · Repo |
| 🏋️ FitNexx | Gym-goers follow generic templates that ignore what they actually lift. A strength-training app where every logged set adjusts the next one, with adaptive programs and progress tracking. | Demo · PRD · Repo |
| 🎯 Pravesh | Exam aspirants study alone while the families backing them have no view of progress. A family-first prep companion with daily targets, a mock-test log and opt-in guardian sharing, in English, Hindi and Hinglish. | Case study · App · PRD |
In progress: 🏺 ArchaeologyWala, a React content platform for archaeology and history.
- Go to the site before writing the spec. Watch what people actually do.
- Price on value you can prove. If the buyer can verify the saving, they'll share it.
- Design for the worst connectivity. Offline-first by default.
- A metric without a baseline is a wish.
- Say what we won't build. A scope is only as good as its non-goals.
- Prototype before you persuade. A working demo ends more debates than a deck.
