About

I build AI products by bringing together engineering, product thinking and business strategy. My passion lies in taking ideas from a blank whiteboard into production, solving real user problems and creating products that deliver measurable impact. Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to work directly with founders, CEOs and CTOs across startups, contributing to AI product development, Backend Engineering, and Founder's Office initiatives. My work has ranged from building AI-powered hiring systems, behavioural assessment platforms and agentic business intelligence assistants to healthcare applications, recruitment automation and intelligent workflow solutions. . These experiences have taught me to balance customer needs, business goals, and technical execution while owning the product lifecycle from discovery to deployment. Beyond my professional work, I've always been drawn to building communities and innovation ecosystems. As President of the Entrepreneurship Cell at Vijaybhoomi University, I led multidisciplinary teams, organized large-scale entrepreneurship festivals, collaborated with founders, investors and technology leaders, and represented the university at IIT Bombay's National Entrepreneurship Challenge for two consecutive years, securing a Top 10 National Finish in 24' followed by a Grand Finale Rank of 17 among 4,000+ institutions in 25'. I enjoy combining research with practical product development. I've contributed to a published book's chapter, co-authored research publications, filed 4+ AI patent applications, and am currently working on research across medical imaging, agriculture and computer vision. Alongside this, I've been fortunate to win and place in hackathons, startup competitions and innovation challenges hosted by IITs, IIMs and leading institutions, validating ideas through rapid prototyping, product pitches and customer feedback. What excites me most is building products where technology creates meaningful outcomes. Whether I'm working with users to understand a problem, collaborating with engineers on architecture, or discussing product strategy with founders, I enjoy operating at the intersection of AI, product and entrepreneurship. I believe the best products are built by staying close to users, experimenting rapidly and continuously learning. My long-term goal is to build AI-native products that simplify complex workflows, augment human decision-making and create lasting business impact. I'm always excited to connect with founders, builders and product leaders who are shaping the future of AI.
