## Headline

Product Manager · Applied AI & B2B SaaS @ NiryatAI \| 0→1 platform builder, eval\-first AI, RAG \| Ex\-Data Scientist \| IIT Kanpur

## About

I'm a product manager who builds 0→1 in ambiguous, high\-stakes B2B problem spaces — and ships AI that has to be defensible, not just demoable\. As the first PM at NiryatAI, I drove the platform build across buyer, supplier, and ops surfaces — system and workflow design, metrics framing, and a 6\-initiative roadmap — turning a bespoke, trader\-led business into a standardized product\. My edge is applied AI, built to hold up in production\. I shipped 7\+ live AI systems across the procurement lifecycle — including AI\-assisted supplier matching, RFQ extraction, document validation, and visual quality checks — each evaluated before launch and kept human\-in\-the\-loop on high\-stakes decisions\. I scoped an 18\-month roadmap and a post\-order ops copilot\. Outside work, I build to learn — LectureSnap is a solo\-shipped AI product \(extension, web app, API\) that turns lecture videos into structured study notes, where I owned the whole stack, evals and all\. It's the quickest way to see how I actually build; code and write\-up are linked below\.
