## Headline

Chief Technology Officer \| Founder \| Building enterprise AI for real workflows \| IIT Madras

## About

I build AI products and technology systems from 0 to 1\. I am a two\-time founder, IIT Madras graduate, and technology, product, and AI leader with over 20 years of experience across startups and Fortune 500 companies\. Over the years, I have launched 15\+ products, built and scaled engineering teams, and worked on solutions that have reached tens of millions of users\. Much of my career has been around emerging technologies\. Over the last six years, I have been deeply focused on building AI products from scratch, from early ideas and prototypes to real products, teams, and customer deployments\. I have worked across Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Microchip, Medic\.Life, and the ventures I built myself\. My work has ranged from embedded systems, mobile platforms, and connectivity software to machine learning, conversational AI, and LLM\-based products\. Across all of this, one thing has stayed constant: I like building practical systems that solve real problems\. As a founder and operator, I have built teams, worked directly with customers, and taken products through uncertainty, iteration, and scale\. This has included AI solutions in healthcare, conversational platforms deployed at scale, and vertical AI products for continuous patient engagement\. What interests me most now is enterprise AI, agentic workflows, context\-rich systems, and how AI can move beyond demos into real business outcomes\. I write regularly about enterprise AI, product thinking, system design, and what it takes to build AI that actually works in production\.
