Built a fitness consistency platform that grew to 4,500 organic users with 51% W1 retention and 29% W4 retention. Shortlisted for YC S21 interviews (top 4%). The product side worked — we built API integrations with Apple Health, Google Fit and 5 others (first in India for 80+ activities), shipped social features, gamification loops, and saw users increase weekly workout scores by 11%. The growth side was where it got hard. We didn't have a repeatable system to turn what was working into a predictable marketing engine. We could build product, but we couldn't answer "what's actually driving growth and how do we do more of it." That question stuck with me. It's now what I'm building Halos to solve.

AI for service drive in car dealerships | Co-founder Halos

About

Hey, I'm Naman, co-founder and CPO at Halos. We're building the agentic AI stack for the service lane at car dealerships. DM if you'd like to chat. I started in analytics building ML models for retail enterprises, then moved into product management where I’ve been building products for consumers and businesses since 2019. At ZEE5, I build the B2B media subscription engine for their US expansion, and in my last role I led retention and member experience products at Curefit (one of India's largest consumer fitness companies). During the pandemic, I also founded afo, a consumer fitness app shortlisted for YC S21. In my spare time, I am working out at the gym, or gaming on my PS5, or reading up on product and consumer psychology.
