A product leader who stays close to the build.
I'm Aadarsh Bohara, Associate Director of Product Management at S&P Global. I lead product for a customer identity platform, with 22 people across three global teams, roughly 4 million users, 42,000 licenses, and 200+ product lines. The platform supports more than $4B in revenue.
I got here by building. Fifteen years in technology across two continents, from early-stage startups to local government to a Fortune 500-scale enterprise. Early on I co-founded an education platform, built its apps myself, and saw it through to a successful exit. I still build on my own time, including an AI product and an MCP server, to deepen my AI and ML expertise. It keeps my product calls honest about what the technology can actually do.
The through-line in all of it is simple. I find the part of a job that a person is only doing because nobody built the thing yet, and I build the thing. A support queue answering the same question for the four-hundredth time became a RAG assistant. A specialist assembling entitlements by hand for five hours became an agent that drafts the whole setup for their approval.
Core Competencies
Product Strategy & Roadmaps
Multi-year platform vision at enterprise scale, plus the discipline to kill a feature when the evidence says so, including my own.
Applied & Agentic AI
RAG in production, an agentic workflow in pilot, evaluation frameworks, MCP and human-in-the-loop design. I specify them at work and build them by hand on my own time.
Enterprise Identity (CIAM)
Seven years deep in Okta, SSO, OAuth, OIDC, SAML, entitlements, and licensing, from an identity platform evaluation at a connected-safety company to a 4M-user customer identity platform.
Team Leadership
A 22-person product team across three global teams, measured on customer outcomes.
Influence Without Authority
30+ business lines adopted shared platform standards after we published what each would gain and give up. None of them report to me.
Zero-to-One Delivery
A pandemic parking pass taken from idea to on sale in under 30 days, earning $6M. An education platform built from scratch to 120,000 users.

Let's Compare Notes
I'm at my best on high-stakes problems where the technology and the business case both have to hold up. If you're working on customer identity, AI agents or a platform that serves many products, I'd like to hear what you're solving.
