A warm hello, my kindred souls.

I’m Varun Jain and this is my digital playground.

Currently, I am I helping organizations turn complex data infrastructure into simple, scalable products that drive business outcomes. I find myself building software for data professionals.

Outside of work, I obsess over writing essays, reading anything 🧠 that is interesting, and attempting to write a multi-generational saga of alienation and nostalgia.

About Me

I’m a Senior Product Manager with a background in building enterprise software at scale — from data engineering platforms to observability and governance tooling. Most recently at Microsoft, I’ve led high-impact initiatives that serve some of the world’s most data-intensive customers.

I’m now focused on helping digitally maturing organizations build modern platforms for data, AI, and growth. I write about product strategy, data infrastructure, platform thinking, and career growth.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a strategy and technology consultant, partnering with Fortune 500 clients to shape their digital transformation journeys — from ideation to delivery. That experience taught me how to balance ambition with execution, and how to build products that stick.

  • 🎯 Product Strategy & Execution Scoping, building, and scaling enterprise-grade data products.
  • 🧱 Data Platform & Infra Thinking Build tools for observability, identity, and governance in the modern data stack.
  • 🧭 Customer-Backed Roadmapping I build with enterprise customers in mind.
