## Headline

Building AI systems for Growth & Operations \| ex\-DGM PhysicsWallah, Unacademy, Silicon Media \| 9\+ years building & scaling categories

## About

I'm Manish, an operator x builder who builds AI systems that move the P&L needle meaningfully\. For 8\+ years I've been the person companies hand a number to and walk away from\. At PhysicsWallah I built a ₹30 Cr\+ ARR portfolio from scratch\. At Unacademy I scaled the Government Exams portfolio from ₹1\.2 Cr to ₹20 Cr\. I sold into the US B2B market before that, and bootstrapped scrappy e\-commerce ventures before that\. I basically turn chaos into clarity and clarity into business outcomes\. What I bring to the table: → I lead big teams toward growth — 96 people across product, content, marketing, ops and sales, all pointed at one number\. → I make categories profitable — at PW, a ₹12\.22 Cr EBITDA swing across 7 P&Ls in 2\.5 years, from −₹8\.86 Cr to \+₹3\.36 Cr\. → I'm obsessed with the user — at PW I pulled NPS from 23 to 67 in six months\. Growth your customers quietly resent doesn't last; eventually they leave\. → I believe in omnichannel systems\. I've launched physical centers alongside online categories, because access to 'ground realities' is what enables us to build robust community channels\. → I love systems thinking — lately I've built some of my own: Promere\.app \(a prompt intelligence platform\), MarketMinute\.ai \(market intelligence\), KonvertClaw \(Openclaw 7\-agent system operated natively through WA that automates marketing production cycle\) along with other 50\+ automations across research, outreach, content, recruitment and ADs\. Who can benefit from my skills? If you're running something where the bottleneck isn't ideas but execution — thin margins, redundant work eating your team, a sense that AI systems could change your unit economics but no one to build them; I'd genuinely be curious to talk\. Not a pitch\. If I can help you turn a bottleneck into a system, that's a conversation I enjoy\. When i am not buried inside my laptop, I trek the long, dull, mountains where summit push is an excuse for carb munching\. Obsessed with playing with dogs because i am still a kid inside and I fight aging in the gym; living upto a 100 years is literally in my bucket list\. 📧 manishdwivedi9639@gmail\.com 🌐 www\.manishdwivedi\.in

## Work experience

Business Head \(AI Native\) at Minimanishtic Labs, Mar 2026 \- Present · 7 mo, Noida, I have a non\-tech background\. I am self\-taught in AI and tech\.
