Hardik Dhawan
I am an MBA student at XLRI Jamshedpur with 5 years of experience across technology and fintech. I began my career at Comcast as a Quality & Automation Engineer before moving to FNZ, where I worked as a Senior Analyst Tester for global wealth management clients across the UK and Germany. Over the years, I worked extensively on solution analysis, product functionalities, release planning, and stakeholder collaboration while leading cross-functional teams of over 25 members to deliver critical releases within timelines and with negligible post-release issues. These experiences strengthened my interest in building customer-centric digital products at the intersection of finance and technology. Beyond work, I actively lead sports and cultural initiatives and enjoy running and biking, experiences that have shaped my leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Through XLRI, I aim to transition into Product Management and build scalable technology-driven solutions that create meaningful user impact.
