The Strategy Monk

Product thinking, without the MBA speak.

Hari has spent 25 years inside the room where product decisions get made — at Oracle Health, across APAC, and in boardrooms from Mumbai to Dubai. On YouTube and across his podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube — he shares what actually works, plainly and without jargon.

Upcoming Book

Fall in Love with the Client, Not the Idea

Most founders fail not because they lack passion — but because they fall in love with their idea instead of what the client actually wants. Fall in Love with the Client, Not the Idea is the no-nonsense playbook for today's entrepreneur: how to validate before you build, bootstrap without burning cash, harness AI as your unfair advantage, and grow through Product-Led Growth loops that run themselves — without a sales team. Whether you're sitting on an idea or stuck mid-build, this book hands you the 360° map that most founders only wish they had at the start.

What people say

Real people. Real results.

From first-time founders to product leaders — here's what working with Hari is like.

I came in with a rough idea for a logistics app. Hari helped me figure out in week two that I was solving the wrong problem. Saved me from spending ₹40 lakhs on the wrong thing. The Foundations course literally changed how I think about business.

I've been a PM for 4 years and felt invisible in strategy conversations. After Hari's PM Launchpad, I presented a product roadmap to our global leadership team and they approved it in one meeting. That had never happened before.

We run a mid-sized textile business and had no idea how to go digital. In 90 days with Studio NAVAKA, we had a working platform for our wholesale buyers. Our sales team stopped using WhatsApp for orders. Revenue from digital is now 30% of our total.
