Building and shipping production-grade AI agents for enterprise Customer Support. End-to-end ownership: discovery → design → deployment → GTM motion. - Closed $500K ARR within 6 months by delivering a full AI Customer Support platform to a global payments-tech enterprise — owned the deal from product scoping through deployment and post-sale expansion. - Reduced Call AHT from 12 → 8 minutes (-33%) by deploying an AI Live Assist agent into the client's contact-center workflow. - Lifted L1 resolution rate from 68% → 81% (+19 pp) with an AI Chat Agent built on top of the client's knowledge base, including custom evaluation harnesses for hallucination detection. - Designed autonomous agent behavior, security boundaries and compliance controls (SOC2-relevant logging, PII redaction, prompt-injection guardrails) so agents could run on regulated workflows. - Defined escalation logic and human-in-the-loop handoff protocols along with evaluation criteria and quality gates for agentic capabilities, measuring task completion rates, goal accuracy, and regression across model updates Instrumented agent observability -  telemetry, tracing, and failure analysis for production AI - Contributed to GTM beyond product — discovery calls, technical demos, RFP responses, success-criteria definition with prospects.

Co-founded and operated a multi-brand cloud kitchen serving South & North Indian cuisines on Swiggy and Zomato. Owned the full P&L — product, ops, GTM and unit economics. - Scaled 0 → 2 outlets within 12 months and hit ₹18L/month revenue (~$260K ARR), achieving operational break-even in 6 months. - Designed and shipped end-to-end ops workflows: menu engineering, dynamic pricing, POS adoption, delivery-platform partnerships. - Drove customer acquisition through Swiggy and Zomato ad optimization — measured ROI against contribution margin, not revenue, to keep ad spend disciplined. - Managed a cross-functional team across kitchen ops, supply chain and marketing — same cross-functional muscles I now apply in product. - What it taught me as a PM: first-hand exposure to unit economics, vendor leverage, and the gap between a clean PRD and an actual P&L.

About

AI Product Manager. 8 years across SaaS, logistics & food-tech. Currently shipping agentic AI at Lyzr AI, closed $500K ARR in my first six months by turning AI agents into production-grade customer support. What I've shipped recently: → Full AI Customer Support platform for a global payments-tech company ($500K ARR, signed and live) → AI Live Assist that cut Call AHT from 12 → 8 minutes (-33%) → AI Chat Agent for L1 queries — resolution rate climbed from 68% → 81% How I got here: I joined UrbanPiper as Operations Executive in 2018 and grew through CSM, Tech Support Lead (96% SLA, team of 6) and PM I → PM II - Partner Marketplace. There I owned global logistics integrations across India, LatAm, MENA and the UK, scaled the integration product 1.5× in international markets, and contributed to the Series B narrative. I then took a year out to start a multi-brand cloud kitchen with a partner. We went 0 → 2 outlets, broke even in 6 months and hit ₹18L/month (~$260K ARR). It taught me unit economics, vendor leverage and the difference between a PRD and a P&L. Now back in product, full-time on agentic AI. Focused on three things: 1. Agent design that works in messy enterprise workflows, not just demos 2. Evaluation, guardrails & post-launch model performance 3. GTM motions — because most AI products die at the integration step, not the model step Stack & tools: LLMs (GPT, Claude, Gemini), LangChain, Pendo, Mixpanel, SQL, Postman, Figma, Replit, Relay.app, Jira Open to: Senior Product Manager roles Reach me: raj.gokul37@gmail.com
