Hi, I’m Yajur Bajaj, an AI and FinTech Product Manager with 5+ years of experience building products from scratch and scaling them across B2B and B2C environments. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science from Chitkara University and spent a semester on exchange at Western Sydney University.

Currently, I’m based in Dubai, working as an AI Product Manager at Dubai Holding, where I stand at the intersection of AI, FinTech, and user-centric product management. I moved here to pursue greater challenges and global opportunities in the space where technology meets innovation.

My Journey: From Startups to AI & FinTech

Before product management, I was a founder myself. I built and grew two profitable startups – FitRev and PedalPalz. PedalPalz even received angel funding and served 400+ customers before I exited successfully. That experience shaped my perspective and naturally led me to Product Management — where entrepreneurship meets structured innovation.

FinTech Experience:

Wealthy (Bangalore) – Took broking products from 0 to 1, defined vision, roadmap, and delivery end-to-end.

HighRadius – Contributed to enterprise FinTech automation products in the B2B space.

AI Product Experience:

Builder.ai – Worked on generative AI-powered solutions tailored for small businesses.

Dubai Holding – Currently leading AI product initiatives focused on smart city and financial ecosystems.

What Drives Me

I thrive on building, scaling, and iterating. Startups, teams, and products give me an adrenaline rush. My time at early-stage startups taught me speed and grit. My journey through AI has taught me foresight and experimentation.

Whether it’s crafting a new product from scratch or solving deep user problems with AI, I focus on user-first thinking, data-driven decisions, and cross-functional collaboration.

Giving Back: My Mentorship Journey

Coming from a family of educators, teaching is in my DNA. Over the last 4+ years, I’ve mentored aspiring product managers globally through platforms like

Topmate, Jobaaj, Guvi, Crater Club.

I've delivered 1600+ workshop sessions, conducted 1:1 mentoring for 150+ students, and built a strong community of 18K+ LinkedIn followers. I also serve as a Hackathon Judge at leading colleges like NIT Jalandhar and Delhi University, helping students bridge the gap between ideas and execution.

What’s Next

In the future, I plan to pursue an MBA abroad to deepen my global perspective and eventually build my next startup — rooted in solving real problems with tech.

On a personal note, my goals are simple: health, happiness, impact, and an early retirement. Until then, I’m committed to learning, building, and helping others along the way.

Let’s Connect

If you're an aspiring PM, curious about AI or FinTech, or just figuring out where to begin — I run free workshops and am happy to connect via Topmate or LinkedIn. The learning never stops — and neither should you.
