About Anchal
I’m an entrepreneurial and growth-focused product leader with 10+ years of experience in building data-driven, customer-centric solutions that drive business impact. Passionate about identifying the right customer problems, I lead cross-functional teams to deliver simple, scalable, and impactful solutions. Currently, I head the Spark Driver platform at Walmart, managing a diverse product portfolio aimed at optimizing operational costs, enabling gig drivers for flawless deliveries, and supporting seamless operations for associates. My expertise spans customer acquisition, retention, and platform development across e-commerce, last-mile delivery, and subscription and retention models, grounded by an MBA from a top U.S. school and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from a leading institution in India. Outside of my product leadership journey, I’m deeply passionate about mentoring and coaching future leaders. Having guided 100+ individuals, I leverage my experience to help others navigate their career paths with clarity and confidence. My coaching approach is rooted in actionable advice, tailored to empower individuals to unlock their full potential. 💡 Let’s connect to explore how we can build impactful products or advance your career together!
Why do I coach?
Are you looking to take your career to the next level? Whether you're navigating challenges, breaking into your first product management role, switching career paths, exploring pivots, or aiming for leadership positions, I’m here to guide you. Coaching has always been deeply rooted in my journey. From mentoring friends and family during my school and college days to guiding colleagues and mentees as a product leader, helping others discover and achieve their aspirations has been a lifelong passion. During my time in college, I often held career sessions in my hostel, guiding peers, cousins, and friends. What began as casual conversations turned into a calling—helping people realize their passions, identify achievable paths, and transform their dreams into reality. As a product leader with 10+ years of experience, I’ve led impactful initiatives at Walmart and beyond, but the joy of seeing someone achieve their career breakthrough often surpasses even the success of launching a great product. Every individual has a unique story, and generic advice rarely works. That’s why my coaching focuses on personalized sessions tailored to your unique journey, goals, and challenges. Having mentored 100+ individuals across different platforms, I understand the power of actionable, tailored guidance. Whether you’re aiming to break into product management, switch careers, or accelerate into leadership, I’m here to help you chart your path with clarity and confidence. 📢 Let’s work together to transform your aspirations into actionable success.
