Joining MathonGo early, and owning outcomes

What a JEE/NEET edtech taught me about ownership.

In short: From 2021 to 2023 I was an early Product & Growth member at MathonGo, the JEE and NEET edtech behind MARKS and Quizrr. I helped scale MARKS to 100K+ downloads, grew YouTube and built a 30K+ student Telegram community.

Joining early

In 2021 I joined MathonGo, the JEE and NEET edtech company behind the MARKS app and Quizrr, as an early Product & Growth member. Being early means the work is yours to figure out.

Building community first

I grew the MathonGo YouTube channel and built a 30K+ student Telegram community. Students trusted a community before they trusted a product.

Scaling MARKS

I helped scale the MARKS app to 100K+ downloads at 4.8★, and grew MARKS on YouTube to 52K+ subscribers and 15.4M views, including hosting the Know Your Branch podcast.

Growing Quizrr

I also worked on growth for Quizrr, MathonGo's online mock test series.

The lesson

Own outcomes, not tasks. Make the metric move, even when nobody has told you it's your job. That habit is the core of how I work as a PM today.
