Deepak Menon / Still curious
About me.
I'm a Vice President at Microsoft. Before this, I led product experience teams at Google in India and Seattle, and was Chief Product & Customer Officer at Myntra.
My work brings together product experience, design and research. My education began in architecture; I am still interested in how the things we make shape people's lives.
I coach people and back early-stage companies. Away from work, I'm a family man, still trying my hand at different sports. My aspiration is to contribute as much as I learn.
