Yo! I'm Ankit

Product Manager by profession, Entrepreneur at heart. ❤️

I like building things people actually use — not just ship features and move on, but figure out why something is broken and fix the actual problem. That's basically what I have worked on so far.

Right now I'm Working at Fitelo as an Associate Product Manager in Founder's Office, building EZWeight — a doctor-led GLP-1 weight loss platform.

My Startup Experience

Started a food-tech D2C brand at 18. Scaled to Decent revenue and Served 1400+ customers. 🚀

How I Built a Food-Tech Startup From Scratch: Problem → Product

As founder and product lead, I owned discovery, roadmap, and metrics — validated demand before writing production code, then built the ordering platform in Next.js and ran sourcing, pricing, and logistics end-to-end.

Where I've Worked

3 internships across Fitelo, AICTE, and Fretbox — owning product experiences and shipping AI features to hundreds of thousands of users.

Fitelo LivFitty EZWeight

Founder's Office at Fitelo

Associate Product Manager

Aug 2026 – Present · Gurugram, Haryana

Working on EZWeight, Fitelo's health and wellness app — from discovery through design, tech, strategy, and business teams to prioritize the roadmap and translate business goals into deliverables.

Collaborated with designers on UX flows and engineering on technical feasibility, driving alignment across teams to ship features on scope, on time, and to a high quality bar.

Management Trainee

Feb 2026 – Aug 2026 · Internship
  • Built a RAG-based Persona Engine delivering personalized health recommendations across Fitelo's 2 lakh+ users, combining vector search and LLM inference to lift engagement.
  • Architected AI pipelines integrating RAG with LLM orchestration to auto-generate personalized diet plans at scale, cutting manual touchpoints.
  • Built multi-agent n8n workflows to autonomously manage health journeys — triggering interventions and syncing data across services.
AICTE AICTE

Product Management Intern at AICTE

Hyped Samvadini — Delhi HQ

Dec 2024 – Jan 2025 · New Delhi, India
  • Contributed to product strategy for Hyped Samvadini, a government-backed messenger built around secure chats, calls, and video — with end-to-end encryption and a privacy-first identity model (hidden number + Dynamic Chat ID).
  • Defined requirements for real-time video calling and anti-spam request-based messaging, ensuring a safe, reliable cross-platform (Android/iOS) experience.
  • Shaped core user flows — onboarding, contacts, messaging — supporting the app’s multilingual (55+ languages) and inclusive design for Bharat’s users.
FretBox

AI Product Intern at FretBox

Binary Technologies

Aug 2024 – Nov 2024 · Remote, Noida
  • Contributed to product development of FretBox’s Resident App, covering key user journeys — onboarding, room booking, rent payments, and complaint management — for a platform now used across 55+ campuses and 80,000+ students in India.
  • Defined requirements for real-time features like room availability, payment status, and maintenance request tracking, working closely with engineering to replace fragmented WhatsApp-based communication with a unified in-app experience.
  • Led product exploration for an LLM-powered chatbot (OpenAI API) to automate resident query handling and hostel notifications — reducing repetitive support load on wardens and admins.

Projects

Things I've built and shipped.

Unhinge Logo Unhinge

Locality-First Social App for Real-Life Friendships

  • Designed and built Unhinge, a locality-first social app helping 18–25 year-olds in Gurugram form real-life friend groups — human-reviewed profiles, no swiping, no DMs.
  • Defined the core product loop: users express interest in their locality → once 7+ people opt in, a WhatsApp group auto-forms — replacing algorithmic matching with a queue-and-threshold model.
  • Built trust and safety into the product from day one — fuzzed location display (locality-only, no exact address), phone number privacy, and a reporting system for every profile.

Zynri Logo Zynri

Delhi NCR Startup Map & Directory

  • Built Zynri, an interactive map and directory of the Delhi NCR startup ecosystem, letting users discover startups by location, stage, sector, and type via map or grid view.
  • Designed the discovery experience — filterable search (area/stage/sector), a “Near Me” view, and a public submission flow for founders to list their startups.
  • Introduced a monetization layer with a “Boost Pin” feature, letting startups pay to increase visibility on the map.

About Me

I’m a curious and easy-going guy who loves meeting new people, exploring new places, having random deep conversations, and trying things I’ve never done before. I’m pretty spontaneous, always up for an adventure, and probably overthink things more than I should. 😭

Beyond that, I genuinely care about society and how we can make it a little better. I enjoy taking part in social initiatives, volunteering with different organizations, and contributing to causes that create a real impact. I like being involved, meeting people from different backgrounds, and doing my bit rather than just talking about change.
