Product Manager — B2B SaaS

Vaidyanathan
Narayanan.

Six years building products in B2B SaaS — from supply chain traceability to financial platforms. I own things end-to-end, from the messy first discovery call to what ships.

Process

How I
work.

A few things that are consistent across every project I've shipped.

01

Get close to the problem

Discovery means being in the user's workflow, not just on a call with them. I want to understand what they actually do, not what they say they do.

Notion Claude
02

Prototype the interaction before speccing it

Engineers should be able to pick up where I leave off. A working UI removes ambiguity faster than any written spec.

Cursor v0 Lovable
03

Write specs that move fast

Claude synthesises discovery notes into structured PRDs. MCP connectors push tasks to Jira. Less overhead, more shipping.

04

Design for the edge cases, not just the happy path

The audit trail, the rollback, the state when something goes wrong. Complex B2B workflows break at the seams — so I design the seams first.

Systems Thinking

Content Creation

Thinking
out loud.

I find pockets of time between shipping things to share what I'm learning.

Products, travel, art — usually Hinglish, always honest.

Vaid What?

A build-in-public PM journal. Real stories from someone actually building — not just advising. Shipping products, making things, and occasionally getting lost somewhere new.
