Srishti Bhandari

Currently a PM at Walmart, previously at Accenture and AT&T USA. I build customer and partner experiences for complex platforms, with a focus on what helps people move forward, what makes them abandon a task, and how systems can reduce friction without reducing trust.

Building experiences
that move people forward.

I’m interested in the mechanics of action: what helps a customer complete a task, what makes them abandon it, and what information a system should surface at the moment it matters.

The best product experiences do more than look simple. They sequence context, reduce cognitive load, build trust, and respect the business, legal, and operational constraints underneath the surface.

In Public Eye

Entertainment Zone.

I’m building Watchr, an entertainment discovery app for people who spend more time deciding what to watch than actually watching.

It is still a work in progress, but the idea is simple: make the next watch feel easier to choose.

Why this works

A quick reason, not an endless recommendation feed.

Early concept mock. Product flow and visual system still evolving.

Mentorship

Helping people find the shape of their own story.

Helping people think more clearly about product has become one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

I don’t see mentorship as teaching. I see it as helping people discover how they think best.
