Namaste readers!
I’m Vedant Milind Athavale,
A product manager cum business analyst with a background in engineering and strategy. I completed my MS in Management Science and Engineering from Columbia University in the Fall of 2024 after studying Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at VJTI Mumbai. Along the way, I’ve worked with Dell, PwC, and Gucci-Kering, focusing on AI-driven automation, workflow optimization, and decision-making powered by data. I enjoy breaking down complex problems, working across teams, and ensuring that products deliver real impact.
Outside of work, I love playing the piano, exploring new places, and diving into the latest trends in tech and business. I’m always looking to learn something new and improve how I think about products, people, and decisions. This blog is a space where I share my thoughts on product management, strategy, and everything in between. If any of that interests you, let’s connect!
What I believe in?
When we are in class 11th and 12th, which is undoubtedly one of the most crucial period of our life, we often think about what branch we have to pursue: For E.g. Commerce, Science, Medical, etc. We often take decisions under the burden of consequences and at the demand of our parents. But, it should never be this way.
Sometimes, it will turn out fruitful and mostly it will not. People say Computer Science & Electronics is all that matters (looking at the pay scales and all). But its false to the core. There are many other engineering streams like HCI (UI/UX), Production, etc. which carry the potential to pay you a lot more.
Read my blogs to get such insights. I’m sure they’ll definitely help you to think with an open mind. Careers are not build with a rigid mind.
