@rajiv_ayyangar on Product Hunt
@rajiv_ayyangar hunted 277 featured Product Hunt launches between Jan-Jul 2026, with an average daily rank of #35.2. That is a mixed record: a typical launch they hunt finishes outside the top 10, and below the median hunter in our sample (median #10.5). 25 of 277 launches finished in the top 5, and launches they hunted averaged 122 votes. Most of their launches were in Pitch NYC.
Against their follower tier
Hunters with 50K-100K followers averaged rank #15.8 across 792 launches in the same period. @rajiv_ayyangar averages #35.2, so their launches underperform what their audience size alone would predict. Follower count is the biggest single lever on rank, but the hunter's record matters more than the raw number: see what drives Product Hunt rank.
