Hi, I'm Somanshu.
I'm a Technical Product Manager based in Pune. By day, I untangle enterprise software at FIS. By night, I write code for fun, read philosophy, and release indie-folk music under the moniker chambalguy.
I prefer solid wood furniture, masala chai, and technology that respects the user's attention.
Recent Thoughts
I write about product, philosophy, and the messiness of building things over on Substack.
