Aaryaman Basu

Aaryaman

Meaning: Noble Minded

Pronunciation: (aar-ya-mun)

Pure Origin: Sanskrit

Twenty-five years ago, in the bustling alleys of Petaling Jaya's Pasar Malam (Malay: night market) two soon-to-be parents savored Mee Goreng and Nasi Kandar, unknowingly influencing their child’s cultural diaspora in the years to come.


Raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia before spending a few years in India- my cultural identity has been strewn across two countries, both of which have absolutely no dearth in cultural wealth. It is the very reason I request my mother to whip up some Kheer right after a flavourful meal of Bak Kut Teh or perhaps why I enjoy playing Cricket as much as Sepak Takraw.

I received my undergraduate degree from the Symbiosis School for Liberal Arts, wherein, I took complete advantage of the freedom of a Liberal Arts education- enrolling in classes ranging from Graph Theory to Living with Climate Change.


Upon graduating, I took up a role at Verto (YCombinator W19), as a Product Designer/ Product Manager. Here, I got in on the nuances of complex enterprise systems and figured out how to streamline user flows, amplify user joys and mitigate user pains.


Realising I wanted to further bolster my skills, I enrolled at the University of British Columbia where I completed my Master's degree in Digital Media.


Currently, I am working as a Business Analyst at Product Care, Canada.



Outside of work, I pursue my own passions and product ideas (some of which are listed in my portfolio).


Here's a copy of my resume.
