Manik Gupta

Chief Product Officer at Uber; Corporate Vice President (consumer) at Microsoft; previously Director of Product for Google Maps (India, then global). One of the few leaders to have operated at CPO-level across three structurally different companies — Google (search/maps infrastructure culture), Uber (growth-driven operations culture), and Microsoft (enterprise-meets-consumer culture). Known for two frameworks: the Consumer Stack (five capabilities required to win in consumer) and Company Product Fit (the question of whether a product belongs in a company’s portfolio, which he argues must be asked before product-market fit).
