Role overview
Sarvam is building India’s full-stack sovereign AI platform, spanning research, models, infrastructure, and applications, with a focus on making AI work for India. This Product Manager role owns the full top-of-funnel experience—from user discovery and signup to activation and retention—working at the intersection of growth, product analytics, and lifecycle. The role involves close collaboration with marketing, platform, and product teams to turn installs and signups into engaged, long-term users across API, Agents, Creator Studio, and consumer products.
Responsibilities
- Own the charter of everything from the first touchpoint to an activated user, on app and off app
- Design the onboarding flows, cut steps, and pick the right activation moment per product and ship toward it
- Define what activation means for each product and instrument it end to end
- Find the drop-offs in activation funnels and run experiments at every step to move the curve
- Own the channel mix from a product standpoint, working with marketing on paid, organic, referral, and partnerships
- Build the attribution setup to understand what's working and hold a clear view on CAC and channel quality
- Define what a good user looks like, segment by source, and feed insights back into acquisition
- Kill channels that bring low-quality users and double down on those that bring repeat users
- Build referral mechanics, social sharing, and in-product virality where it fits
- Ship in-product nudges and off-product touchpoints (email, WhatsApp, push) to drive re-engagement and habit formation
Requirements
- 5+ years in product management with at least 2-3 years owning growth, activation, or top-of-funnel at a startup or consumer/developer product
- Proven experience moving an activation metric, with ability to discuss baseline, what was shipped, what worked, and what didn’t
- Deep working knowledge of activation, engagement, and retention funnels, including understanding each step, cohort, and drop-off points
- Hands-on experience with marketing channels and attribution (paid, organic, referral, lifecycle) and how to measure each
- Proficiency in product analytics tools (Mixpanel, PostHog, Amplitude) and ability to pull SQL when needed without relying on the data team
- Intuitive sense for what makes a product activate faster (friction, time-to-value, first action)
- Familiarity with key metrics: CAC, activation rate, D1/D7/D30 retention, channel ROI, cohort curves
- Clear thinker on user quality, prioritizing activated users who return over raw signup numbers
Nice to have
- Built referral programs or viral loops that materially moved acquisition
- Worked on developer products, AI products, or India-first consumer products
- Background in mobile growth, including store optimization and install-to-activation funnels
