This week, Maya and Olivia sit down with Dinushi — a former fintech co-founder turned product lead at JPMorgan Chase, and a product mentor at BrainStation (and on TikTok: @thenewproductmanager).

Dinushi’s career hasn’t followed a straight line. From studying medicine, to accidentally co-founding a fintech startup, to now building AI-driven products inside one of the world’s biggest banks — her path has been shaped by curiosity, taking chances, and saying yes before feeling “ready”.

In this episode, we get into what it’s really like finding startup energy inside a corporate giant, transitioning between careers, and building a role that blends product, tech, and impact. We also talk mentoring in tech — why you don’t need 20 years of experience to start, and how becoming a mentor early can shape your own growth just as much as others’.

💭 TOP TAKEAWAYS

• Career transitions & finding the right work environment
• Finding startup pace and ownership inside a corporate environment
• What working in product actually looks like day-to-day
• Becoming a mentor earlier in your career — and why it matters
• The realities of relocating to the US — visas, mindset, and balance

This episode is honest, insightful, and full of perspective for anyone figuring out their next move — without a perfectly mapped-out plan – and interested in product and tech.
