Arunima Rai
Product Builder & Strategist

I build with
taste and ship
with intent.

8 years of product experience taught me what makes a product stick. Now, I'm building in the open, combining product strategy with the execution speed of AI. I believe the best products are a mix of brutal honesty, sharp strategy, and a bit of soul.
