The business situation.

Progress from product management into end-to-end product ownership across Aqualogica growth, Mamaearth acquisition, new brand launches, and shared platform systems.

Aqualogica run rate

INR 175 Cr

Roughly $21M a year on the D2C website I owned end to end

Homepage and search conversion

+15% / +17%

Rebuilt off funnel and conversion analysis

Platform scale

1M/day

Transactions supported by API contracts and event architecture

Every number here is one I owned and measured. Brand dashboards, referral cohorts, and launch documentation are confidential.

How my scope grew

I joined Honasa as a Product Management Intern, moved to Associate Product Manager, and then Product Manager. The scope grew from fraud and post-purchase operations into acquisition systems, launches, sole ownership of Aqualogica's website, and shared ecommerce infrastructure.

The business situation

The work covered Mamaearth, Aqualogica, BBlunt, and Yotobox. I led end-to-end website lifecycle work across strategy, roadmap, UX, data analysis, QA, copywriting, and operational setup, and partnered with engineering on API and event architecture.

The decision I owned

I used homepage, search, and referral-funnel analysis to focus on targeted cohort visibility, referral-user quality, first-order discounting, and launch readiness rather than treating acquisition as a single top-of-funnel metric.

How I worked through the tradeoffs

The strategy was to treat acquisition and conversion as a connected system: improve visibility for targeted cohorts, measure funnel contribution, reduce inefficient discounting, and strengthen scalable instrumentation.

What I shipped

End-to-end ownership of aqualogica.in, referral systems across web, Android, iOS, and Yotobox with a MamaCash wallet-credit incentive, the Mamaearth referral launch, the Aqualogica and BBlunt launches, the Shopify rollout, and API and event architecture built with engineering.

What changed

Aqualogica reached an INR 175 Cr (~$21M) annual run rate and was Honasa's fastest brand to 100 Cr. Homepage and search conversion improved 15% and 17%. Referral signups reached 8% of organic daily acquisition and converted at 40% against 20% for organic, acquisition cost per new order fell from Rs. 620 to Rs. 580, Yotobox-acquired users needed 25% lower first-order discounts, and the event architecture supported one million daily transactions.

What I would carry forward

The most durable lesson was to treat acquisition, conversion, launch quality, and platform reliability as connected customer journeys rather than separate website initiatives.
