S02E23: Product Management at PhonePe: Understanding a product engine that serves 300 mn+ users
In November 2020, PhonePe had about 250 million registered users. In the next six months, the company added 50 million more, taking the total count to 300 million users. With over 125 million monthly active users and transactions worth over $390 billion (May 2021) happening over its platforms, PhonePe is the largest payments company in India. The company has set an ambitious target of getting to 500 million Indians by 2023, which is nearly half the country’s population.
With such a large user base, every new product and feature needs to be well thought through. How does PhonePe approach product management and prioritize building the right features? How does it balance agility and still get scale right? In this episode, Vishal Gupta, the head of products at PhonePe, dives deep into these questions.
