Shayon Pal

Hello! I’m a digital product consultant from New Delhi, India. I help both small and large businesses to research on their big ideas and execute them. For the last 12 years, I’ve managed numerous product initiatives for companies that crossed $100 million valuations, both full-time and as a consultant.

I can help improve your ROI by helping your users connect with your product emotionally. If you’re building a digital product or a service, I’d love to talk to you. If you’re an early stage startup or a non-profit organization, I’d even work with you at a discount.

What I Do

Product Management

Validate your business idea before spending big money on it. Additionally, I can help you with user research, identifying the size & demography of your target audience, prototyping, building MVPs, and go-to-market strategies.

Website & Apps Development

If you already know what you want to build, I can help you execute the same end-to-end — be it identifying the technology, setting up micro services, building the server architecture, coding web/mobile applications, or just a marketing campaign.

Prototyping & User Research

One of the key processes of building a digital product is to design how your target audience will be interacting with it. I help my clients understand their product designs better by building working prototypes and researching with test audiences to build an amazing product.

Solution Consultation

I also help businesses facing many product related problems with elegant technology-based solutions whereby they end up using their existing team to implement the same. If you already have a team of your own, and are just looking for an experienced consultant, I'm your guy!

Testimonials

Managing stakeholders' expectations and delivering on those is one of the most important skills for any Product Owner and Shayon absolutely shines in that. Our project was a runaway success, and Shayon played an important part in that.
Hagay Rozenfeld
Hagay RozenfeldHead of Innovation at Israel Railways Ltd
We'd brought in Shayon to build a course around Business Analytics for our students, and his unique insights from working on the field had enabled him to do an amazing job at that. We'd love to have him back for more courses in the upcoming semesters.
Feridun Hamdullahpur

His knowledge is vast in multiple domains, which enables him in solving problems in unique ways. I would highly recommend Shayon to a place where product is struggling to understand its target audience and how to optimize their user journeys.
Puneet Gupt
Puneet GuptCOO at Times Internet
Shayon has helped us launch about 5 new products for us, in his span of 3 years of engagement. His biggest contribution to the publication has been revamping the 7 year old antiquated CMS and modernising it, something that we are using even today.
Sukumar Ranganathan
Sukumar RanganathanChief Editor at HT Medial Ltd
He has been extremely patient in understanding the requirements of a bunch of non-techies and yet delivering an amazing website that was beyond the expectation of anyone in the team. We've already hired him for some of our upcoming projects.
