• “Move the needle everyday”

  Yellow AI

  Got recognition from Yellow AI to lead some of the key projects in Generative AI and Voice AI automation as Product Manager.

• Aagam Mehta

  “I had the opportunity to work closely with Aakanksha at yellow.ai when she was a Platform PM and I had just started working on the VoiceAI vertical. In my early days at Yellow, I learned a great deal from her. She played a key role in helping me gain clarity, confidence, and momentum early in my career. We partnered closely to bring Voice as a channel live on the Yellow platform, which has since become one of the most impactful channels. As a PM, she consistently brings clarity to complex problem spaces and aligns other PMs, Stakeholders, Design, and Engineering around a unified direction. Aakanksha was a key driver behind Yellow’s builder platform for close to four years, laying the foundation across both NLP and later LLM transitions, and now leads the Analytics and Insights charter with the same depth and rigor. Her first-principles thinking, ability to ask the right questions, and comfort navigating ambiguity have been central to successful launches over the years. She’s the kind of PM you want on high-stakes initiatives: calm, bold, and deeply grounded in fundamentals.”

• Chandan R Sindhe

  “I had the pleasure of working with Aakansha at Yellow.ai, where we collaborated on several key initiatives most notably, the Studio module, where she was the driving force as the Product Manager. The impact of her work on that module was nothing short of transformative, it elevated the product experience to an entirely new level. Aakansha's product thinking is truly top-notch. She has a rare talent for deeply understanding both customer and user needs while skillfully balancing them with business goals. One of our most memorable collaborations was reimagining API management within the bot builder, a complex challenge that she navigated with clarity, strategy, and a strong user-first mindset. I learned a great deal from working alongside her on that project. Any team would be incredibly lucky to have Aakansha onboard. She brings strategic thinking, user empathy, and flawless execution to the table. Wishing her all the best for her next chapter, she's undoubtedly going to make a big impact wherever she goes.”
