# Chaitanya Repakula on Tal

## Headline

Associate at McKinsey \| IIMC’23 \| ESADE \(CEMS MIM\) \| IITM’18

## About

I sit at the intersection of management consulting and hands\-on AI product development — a combination that lets me move from strategy to execution without losing altitude\. At McKinsey, I've led AI/ML deployments for banking and insurance clients — designing agentic AI systems that drive measurable outcomes, shaping India entry strategies for global insurance giants building multi\-billion dollar businesses from scratch and developing growth strategies to insurers, banks & tech companies\. At Quantiphi, I built and shipped a Visual Quality Inspection AI for automotive defect detection that delivered $4M in labour savings and won the Aegis Graham Bell Innovation Award — taking an idea all the way from whiteboard to production\. I'm drawn to complex, ambiguous problems where product thinking, analytical rigour, and cross\-functional ownership all matter
