Ankit Rastogi

Product and business leader with 15+ years building and scaling consumer internet platforms across Fintech and Travel — from founding-stage products to CXO-level transformation of large regulated businesses at scale. Most recently as CPO at Angel One, led the strategic reinvention of one of India's oldest broking institutions — transforming Angel Broking, a phygital discount broker, into a 100% digital, high-growth fintech Super App competing head-on with Zerodha and Groww. Built and scaled a platform now at 100 Mn+ downloads serving 37.4 Mn clients across broking, MF distribution and credit. The transformation was anchored in three convictions: data and Gen AI as core product inputs (not afterthoughts), design excellence and deep UX Research as competitive differentiators for a massively diverse user base — from Tier IV first-timers to ultra-fast derivatives traders — and rapid pivoting from MVP to differentiated, sticky consumer experiences. Built and led VP/SVP-level leadership across Product, Design, Growth and Analytics — institutionalising experimentation, clickstream intelligence and Voice of Customer as operating rhythms, not initiatives. Before Angel One, led product and growth across large-scale consumer travel commerce at MakeMyTrip and Goibibo — platforms serving tens of millions of monthly active users — across Hotels, Alternate Accommodation and Ancillary products, operating across India and the Middle East. Deep experience in supply-chain-free, high-engagement consumer categories where retention and personalisation are existential. Earlier, founded IndiaHotelReview (IHR) — India's first budget hotel booking portal — profiled as an Emerging E-commerce Entrepreneur on CNBC TV18's Young Turks (Dec 2011). The entrepreneurial instinct of rapid iteration, frugal execution and consumer obsession has remained constant across every role since. Strong at the intersection of regulated fintech, consumer-scale data and applied AI — with a bias toward execution, customers and measurable business impact.
