About

I build products from zero, first as a founder, then as a strategist, now in AI. I co-founded my first company in college and spent five years building digital infrastructure for India's gig economy. That founder instinct helped me pull my first analyst role at Abbott where I taught myself Python and shipped a scraping engine that saved millions. At Mastercard, I scaled it to global products, owning 0→1 product strategy for a dynamic-pricing engine across EU and LATAM, and designing a deal-approval system that compressed sales cycles from weeks to days and drove multi-million-dollar profit uplift. My focus is on aligning Sales, Legal, and Engineering around one roadmap. At Kellogg (MBA '26), I am all-in on AI product. I lead product for a GenAI EdTech startup, building a multimodal narrative engine on RAG pipelines and evaluate AI startups as a venture associate, pressure-testing model strategy and technical moats. 📩 shivangi.sarabhai14@gmail.com
