Madhav Shankar

Shankar is appropriate when onboarding needs product leadership as well as a flow review. His first-value and PLG-prerequisite work can connect the journey with qualified handoffs, but the broader fractional format requires a different commitment.

Madhav Shankar’s PLG engagement begins by testing whether a product can deliver value quickly enough for self-serve adoption. The work covers growth-loop design, onboarding around a meaningful first-value moment, instrumentation, product-qualified signals and the boundary between self-serve and sales-assisted plans. His current practice offers scoped projects, advisory and fractional or interim product leadership.

Shankar is a useful candidate when a founder needs someone to carry product decisions into a roadmap and delivery. He is based in Delhi and explicitly describes morning overlap for US East Coast teams. Discuss the working hours required by your engineers and the decision rights of a fractional lead. His typical fractional model spans one to three days a week for a quarter or more; a narrower diagnostic should have its own scope and acceptance criteria.

His location and working-hours FAQ explicitly says Delhi, with reliable morning overlap for US East Coast teams.
