About

I build and scale systems where data and models drive decisions in real-world operations. My work sits at the intersection of logistics, fintech, and applied AI, where I design systems that improve cost, reliability, and throughput under real-world constraints. At Delhivery, I have built and scaled systems across last-mile delivery and freight planning, including ML-driven optimization and AI-powered order ingestion workflows. Previously, as a Techstars-backed founder, I built cross-border payments and credit infrastructure that enabled international students to save approximately $1,200 on tuition and access credit without local history, while navigating regulatory constraints. Across these experiences, I have focused on building systems from zero to one and scaling them in complex, multi-stakeholder environments where success depends on aligning incentives and driving adoption. I’m particularly interested in problems involving: – Decision systems (data → model → action) – Operational workflows at scale – AI-driven automation in real-world environments Specialties: Product Strategy · 0→1 Launches · AI/ML Applications · B2B SaaS · Fintech & Payments · Logistics Tech · GTM Strategy · Unit Economics
