Bangalore Urban

Owned pan-South India go-to-market strategy for industrial automation and engineering solutions across cement and steel verticals. Ran end-to-end customer discovery cycles — interviewed buyers, synthesized requirements, translated pain points into technical-commercial proposals. Cross-functional leadership across engineering, design, supply chain, and operations with no line authority — influence without authority. Revived dormant pipeline through a structured account re-engagement playbook built from win/loss analysis.

Bangalore Urban

Owned USA and Europe key accounts — Solar Turbines, Siemens, Fincantieri, Turboden, Exergy — for Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, and Special Application Alternators. Acted as customer advocate: translated international customer requirements into product specifications and engineering roadmap inputs across time zones. Grew key account (Fincantieri) 70% YoY through structured requirements management and technical problem-solving. End-to-end deal ownership across currencies, banking instruments, and compliance regimes — operating in a matrixed org without explicit authority.

Bangalore Urban

Doubled company revenue (≈100% YoY) in 12 months by identifying and launching an untapped government-tender segment. Full ownership of the product-market fit loop: market discovery, requirements definition, pricing, delivery. T Built the pricing, bidding, and win/loss review system from scratch using competitor benchmarking — won and retained NTPC, UCIL, and Midhani accounts.

Uttar Pradesh

Founded and ran a manufacturing startup (clay bricks, cement tiles, paver blocks) with full P&L ownership — product, pricing, customers, cash flow, vendor relationships. All of it. Ran the complete business loop before knowing what it was called: identified the market, built the product, acquired customers, managed the revenue cycle. Hit a wall: a critical project stalled due to financial miscalculations, co-founder misalignment, and customer payment delays. Forced exit after funds were withheld. What I actually learned: financial control is not optional, founder alignment must be established before execution starts, and risk mitigation is a product decision. These principles shape every business recommendation I make today — including at AayoApp.

About

I spent nine years doing product work without the title — B2B industrial automation, energy, heavy manufacturing — embedded with customers like NTPC, Siemens and Fincantieri. Now I build AI products. Many of them shipped or running, Some are mentioned here: → RAG Bookshelf — a cross-book synthesis engine over 14 AI and product books (1.6M words, 2,844 passages). Embeddings run on my laptop. → What Is Hot? — an agentic news pipeline that reads 16 sources and prints one newspaper. Won a hackathon; built in under five hours. → Investor Research & Outreach — a two-agent pipeline that ranks matched investors and drafts outreach. Confidence decides autonomy; nothing irreversible sends without my confirmation. The pattern in all is the same, and it is the part I actually care about: what the system refuses to do. Grounded retrieval, citations on every claim, guardrails against fabrication, and a human in the loop wherever the action cannot be undone. Before this: doubled a company's revenue in 12 months by opening an untapped government-tender segment. Grew a compliance-heavy international account 70% YoY. Designed the revenue model and projections behind AayoApp's ₹1 Cr pre-seed raise, as a founding advisor rather than a hired consultant. I'm self-taught in economics, working capital and valuation — not a CA or CFA, but I can defend a number. I read and build obsessively, which is where the cross-domain synthesis comes from. If you're building AI products for B2B or enterprise, I'd like to be in that room
