Samveg Thaker - PM @ Alpaca

Samveg Thaker

PM @ Alpaca

In my current role at Alpaca, I have successfully developed two funding flows in the last six months, consistently securing over $50 million in funding each month. This achievement not only highlights my ability to conceptualize and implement impactful financial solutions but also underscores my commitment to driving measurable results. Additionally, my role involves consulting with leading Fintech firms, such as GoTrade, Syfe, and IND Money, contributing to the trading of over $3 billion and managing 2.3+ million active accounts. This experience has honed my ability to navigate the complexities of the financial industry and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.

Prior to my time at Alpaca, I spent two years at Microsoft as a Software Development Engineer. Working with the Marketplace team, I managed Extensions for VS Code and Visual Studio IDE. Notably, I led the Monolith to Microservice migration, played a pivotal role in preventing a service outage, and successfully defended against a spam attack. These experiences have equipped me with a robust technical foundation and a strategic mindset, essential qualities for effective product management.

My entrepreneurial journey further sets me apart. In my second year of college, I founded a service-based startup that achieved a revenue milestone of a million INR. Later, as we transitioned to a product-based firm, Avasar, I led a cross-functional team comprising engineers, a designer, a content writer, sales executives, and interns. This experience allowed me to cultivate strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of the product lifecycle.

One of my proudest accomplishments during this time was engaging with individuals affected by depression to enhance Avasar's usability. This customer-centric approach reflects my dedication to creating products that genuinely address user needs.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
