GenAI & Agentic AI Platforms \| 0→1 → $1\.2M ARR \| Ex\-Green Story \(Series A\) \| 17\+ yrs across SaaS, Fintech, Energy & AEC

## About

I love digging into customer problems and solving them with modern technology\. Two things 17\+ years of doing it have taught me: products only matter when they ship, and they only last when they make money\. I’ve taken products from 0→1 to revenue twice\. At Green Story, I took a carbon\-offsetting SaaS from 0→1 for fashion brands, shaped the roadmap that secured Series\-A funding, and launched a subscription module that hit $1\.2M ARR within six months\. The platform grew to $225K MRR\. Today at GlobalLogic \(a Hitachi Group company\), I lead product across a portfolio of enterprise AI engagements: → Discovery\-to\-handoff for “Nudge as a Service,” an agentic AI spend\-optimisation platform for a leading US benefits fintech — PRD, multi\-agent design \(scoring, education, attribution\), prioritisation across 20\+ nudge journeys → An AI\-powered operations super\-app prototype for a leading Indian container\-logistics PSU, built solo with AI\-assisted rapid prototyping — won client buy\-in; moved a ₹10 Cr opportunity into commercial closure → GenAI RFQ\-extraction MVP for a US energy\-equipment manufacturer \(\+15% quote\-processing efficiency\); fan\-experience MVP for an IPL franchise → A 6\-month omnichannel growth roadmap for a leading Indian pet\-care retail brand I also build the PM practice itself — hiring, a product\-strategy workshop for aspiring PMs, reusable playbooks\. How I work: customer at the center of everything\. Fluent in both technical and executive languages\. Strong gut instinct, balanced with data\. Greater joy in team victories than personal wins\. And the buck always stops with me\. My path is unusual — civil engineer → construction PM → product\. So I’m at home in messy, physical, regulated domains \(construction, energy, logistics, utilities\) where AI products are hardest to land and most valuable\. Open to Group / Principal PM roles — India or global remote\.
