The rare PM who speaks fluent engineering, thinks in compliance frameworks, and obsesses over user problems — all at once. Six years shipping regulated financial products and enterprise AI platforms at scale.
Not what I shipped. What I stopped — and why.
The multi-agent wealth optimization features were ready to ship. Stakeholders wanted them live. I held them back because the data foundation wasn't ready — and shipping on it would have meant building everything downstream on sand. Six months later, we shipped on a foundation that was actually trustworthy.
The manual rebalancing dashboard was on schedule, on spec, and making the problem worse. User research showed it was causing analysis paralysis — advisors were avoiding it entirely. I redirected the team to automated Monte Carlo simulations with outcome-based recommendations. The stakeholder who'd pushed hardest for the original brief later called it the right call.
Most PMs pick two. I bring all three — and the track record to prove it.
Hands-on with AWS Lambda, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, S3, Athena, GCP, and Azure. I've architected REST API pipelines, webhook event systems, async queues, and RAG pipelines. Engineers respect my PRDs because I understand what I'm asking for at the system level.
Wealth management, pension platforms, KYC/AML, risk profiling, Monte Carlo simulations, BIN management, Visa and Mastercard integrations. I don't need a crash course in financial products. I've shipped them at global tier-1 institutions.
I've killed features mid-sprint when user data proved we were solving the wrong problem. I've pushed back on client requests at global asset managers and delivered something better. I use RICE and Kano to win scope arguments with data — not seniority.
I'm Ruchi Parijat. Six years across enterprise AI, regulated FinTech, and payments infrastructure — from Deloitte's global wealth management practice to building card issuance infrastructure at Shiprocket from zero.
My edge is that I think like an engineer, move like a PM, and speak the language of compliance. That combination is rare. The outcomes above are what it produces.
Concrete, measurable outcomes — not a honeymoon period.
