Abhishek Nair, Product Manager in Fintech and Payments

I am a Lead Product Manager at Zeta with experience across fintech, payments, growth, platform products, and consumer financial journeys. Recruiters and collaborators can use this page as a concise view of my product background, engineering roots, education, and public proof links.

Hey, I'm Abhishek. I build products at Zeta, where we're reimagining banking software. Before I became a "product person," I was an engineer who could actually ship code — Android and iOS apps at Practo & Treebo, and a couple of startups that taught me more about failure than any MBA ever could.

These days, I spend my time thinking about UPI and card payments, Platformization and how to make fintech products that don't make compliance teams cry. The best part? I still get to tinker with code on weekends and pretend I'm not getting rusty.
