Growth strategy, product delivery, client work, founder operations, and university communication. I tend to take ownership when the problem is messy and the route from evidence to execution is still unclear.
JAI KRISHNAN MURALI.
I work across growth, product marketing, and product, and I’m based in Sweden. I co-founded two companies, grew one to 10,000 users without outside funding, and led strategy and growth for a studio that delivered 165+ projects across 8+ countries. I’m strongest where a team needs someone to understand the customer, read the data, and turn it into work that ships.
Where I would rather stay. Amsterdam next, then the rest of Europe.
Roles where customer insight, commercial thinking, and execution stay close together.
Post-study job-seeking permit applied for and pending. A permanent role would need a sponsored work permit, and I am happy to walk through it.
Evidence
Co-founded and scaled a hyperlocal delivery platform to 10,000 users and $80k+ GMV in the first year, bootstrapped. I left in 2024. It is still running and has passed 500,000 orders.
↗ Studio Dodge 'n BurnsBuilt a studio that delivered 165+ brand, web, and growth projects for 90+ clients across 8+ countries.
↗
An eight-condition framework for diagnosing where end-of-use knowledge stops before it reaches product design. Built with Johan Karlström during a placement at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
Made international student content across Instagram and YouTube from 2024 to 2026, part time. The channels went from 8k to 12k followers across the ambassador team. My own content passed 250,000 views.
Where I Fit
Growth + Go-to-Market
I have built acquisition funnels, managed client growth work, and used CAC, churn, conversion, and retention data to decide what to change next.
Product Marketing
I connect customer insight, positioning, go-to-market, and the product itself. The work is strongest when the promise in the campaign and the experience after the click are treated as one system.
Product + Founder Ops
I work from the user problem through to the system behind it. Small teams, shifting priorities, and unfinished parts of the job are the setup I know best.
Content + Communication
I have worked across content strategy, campaigns, video, design, and social media for clients and international audiences, including 250,000+ views on my own Linköping University content.
