Hi, I'm Priya Adlakha

My Journey

I started my career straight out of college as a Research Associate with a degree in Economics. After a year, I realized research wasn't the right fit for me, so I began exploring different fields and courses, from finance to marketing, trying to find my true passion. During this exploration, I discovered Product Management and immediately knew it was the direction I wanted to pursue.

I began in a UAT role to gain hands-on experience and understand how product teams operate. Within a year, I moved into an Associate Product Manager position and eventually took on the role of Product Manager, managing one team and later expanding to two teams, driving strategy, execution, and collaboration. Recognizing that the world of product and technology is constantly evolving, I enrolled in the MS-BAIM program at Purdue University to strengthen my technical skills and enhance my ability to build impactful, data-driven products.

My Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: if something scares you, jump in. Growth happens when you face challenges head-on, learn along the way, and embrace uncertainty. I believe action and curiosity are the best teachers.

When I Am Not Working

I try one new dish every week and keep iterating until I finally crack the code of a recipe that feels just right. Also, I love learning about how different yarns intertwine to form innovative textile products.
