## About

Over the past 5\+ years, I have built SaaS and AI products across early\- and growth\-stage startups\. Currently, I lead Product at Storefox\.ai, where I am building a GenAI\-powered voice intelligence platform for QSRs, Healthcare, and Retail\. As the Founding PM, I took the product from idea to production, leading customer discovery, product strategy, LLM evaluation, UX, pricing, GTM, and enterprise deployments\. I work closely with enterprise customers to scope AI solutions, run pilots, and translate business problems into production\-ready AI workflows\. Previously at BetterPlace, I led AI\-powered onboarding and background verification products used by 100\+ enterprises, launching OCR\-based automation, a WhatsApp onboarding chatbot, and an in\-house criminal verification system that reduced vendor costs by \~ ₹2\.5 Cr annually\. I hold a B\.Tech in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur and a Master's from the University of Tokyo, and have authored 5 research papers\. I occasionally write on Medium about things I notice along the way\. https://medium\.com/@ankitagrawal\_42818
