Jamshed V Rajan’s Summary
Jamshed Velayuda Rajan has around ten years of professional experience – two years in the print media and eight years in building online communities both on internet and intranet.
His eight years of exposure to the internet saw him honing his skills in product management, including but not restricted to content, community building, user trends, and page views/user sessions/activities target management.
For four years he anchored projects which involved building significantly huge sections in India’s premier portal – sify.com. Besides building interactive sections and community development on Sify.com, he also managed its Sports Channel – http://sify.com/sports. As part of a major revamp, he was part of the User Experience Management team which re-built Sify.com.
At American International Group’s software development wing – AIGSS, he built their intranet from scratch and handled the knowledge transfer to the company’s Corporate Communications.
In Satyam Computers, he was responsible for increasing the associate adoption levels of the Intranet. He built trust in the internal community, which ended up using the platform for knowledge accumulation & dissemination. As an additional responsibility, he also worked as a Usability Architect (UA) for Satyam Computer’s first product – the details of which can’t be revealed. As the UA, he was responsible for ultimate user acceptance and adoption of the product.
With Yahoo! he was responsible for go-live of the Cricket World Cup special within two months of planning. His integration of community building elements within the content pages won him accolades.
At ibibo Web Pvt Ltd, he is Director - Product Management and heads product development for all UGC & Mobile.
Current Focus: He believes mobile & the PC will be one in not less than 3-5 years and is ensuring when that happens, ibibo isn't left wanting!
