# Ankit Kumar on Tal

## Headline

PM \| AI, 0→1 and Growth across transit, quick\-commerce & telecom \| ex\-Zepto/Blinkit \| Open to PM roles & advisory

## About

AI\-Native Product Manager \| 0→1 Builder \| Agentic AI & Transit Tech I build products at the intersection of AI and operations — using agentic AI, automation, and data\-driven decision\-making to turn messy, manual workflows into systems that run themselves\. Currently, I'm a Product Owner and hybrid Technical Program Manager at Cubic Transportation Systems, where I lead backend infrastructure for UMB, a global transit technology platform operating under a SAFe delivery framework\. My recent work includes architecting a Rovo\-based agentic system for capability tracking across 100\+ assignments, and designing eval\-driven AI workflows — including a 47\-prompt evaluation dataset — to make AI outputs production\-reliable, not just demo\-ready\. Before Cubic, I spent close to six years building consumer and platform products at Zepto, Blinkit \(Zomato\), Airtel, and Algosure — leading 0→1 builds, driving double\-digit growth in adoption and retention, and shipping AI/ML\-powered features at scale\. I hold an MBA \(PGP\) from the Indian School of Business, where I also built a GenAI recommendation engine that doubled user retention for a student community\. Technical toolkit: Agentic AI, RAG pipelines, LLM Evaluation \(G\-Eval\), Prompt Engineering, SQL, Python, REST APIs, Jira, Confluence, Agile/SAFe, Product Strategy, 0→1 Product Development, Stakeholder Management, Cross\-functional Leadership, A/B Testing, Growth Strategy, Data\-Driven Decision Making, Automation \(Make\.com, n8n\), GitHub, Azure\. I'm always interested in conversations with teams building ambitious, AI\-native products — especially where deep tech meets real\-world operational complexity\. Open to connecting\.
