About

I build AI-first B2B products from zero to first revenue - and I've done it end-to-end, from writing the first POC to closing the first enterprise contract. In under two years, I went from intern to sole product owner of an entire B2B SaaS vertical. In that time I: → Closed my company's first SaaS deal (₹1.5 Cr ARR) after years of failed attempts on the same product → Led the AI product turnaround behind a Fortune 500 manufacturer's first-ever Global Channel Partnership in India - a 3-year contract at ₹40 Cr/yr → Cut a core operational workflow from 6-8 weeks to 9-14 days using multi-agent AI systems → Recovered a stalled enterprise engagement - process accuracy 78% to 94%, TAT 14 days to 9 hours I work fluently across the AI stack : multi-agent orchestration (LangGraph, Google ADK), hybrid RAG (Qdrant, Voyage, BM25), OCR + LLM pipelines, and production-grade evaluation. I prototype these systems myself and hand them to engineering. Code is on my GitHub. What I care about: turning AI capability into measurable business outcomes - revenue, accuracy, speed, scale. The domain doesn't matter to me; the problem-solving does. I've done it in B2B procurement and I'm ready to do it in any product environment. Currently looking for PM and AI PM roles at ambitious B2B/B2C SaaS companies.

Experience

  • Venwiz (3 yrs 2 mos)
    • Product Manager (Pre-PO Vertical)
      Aug 2025 - Present · 11 mos

      Sole product owner of Venwiz's Pre-PO vertical post company-wide layoff. • Closed Venwiz's first SaaS deal — ₹1.5 Cr ARR with Cyient including a separate VendorIQ module; first SaaS revenue in the product's 4+ year history. • Recovered a stalled enterprise engagement with a Fortune 500 manufacturer — extraction accuracy 78% to 94%, processing TAT 14 days to 9 hours, engagement hit 130%+ of quarterly target; converted into a 3-year managed-service contract at ₹40 Cr/yr. • Aligned stakeholders for the RFQPro SaaS pivot despite competing company priorities, built the roadmap, and personally drove the client demos that landed Venwiz's first SaaS pilot. • Built production-ready multi-agent AI POCs handed to engineering with minimal rework — PQR generation (Google ADK + hybrid RAG on Qdrant + Voyage + BM25) and Technical Bid Analysis (LangGraph CRAG with critic-node corrective loop + Claude Vision OCR fallback). Code on GitHub. • Took full ownership of VendorIQ post-layoff — a GSTIN-based vendor risk and business-health product comparable to Probe42 / D&B, including backend, frontend, and data flow contracts. • Managed Venwiz's full ClearTax API engagement — 8 APIs powering RFQPro, VendorIQ, and Lead Generation — owning annual consumption forecasts and per-API-call pricing negotiations. • Initiated and ran weekly AI sessions across Product + Tech for 6+ months — accelerated TBA automation in Pre-PO and drove architecture changes in our enterprise chatbot and Post-PO manufacturing-plan automation.

Scaled team capacity from 30–40 to 90+ RFQs/month and cut RFQ TAT from 6–8 weeks to 9–14 days. • Led Megalith — a vendor data mapping engine. Personally designed mapping logic (PAN to website, PAN to Indiamart, website to GSTN); expanded the vendor database from 19,000 to 2.5 lakh profiles in 6 months, selectively enriching Search. • Hired and managed 2 interns — one on Invoice Reading App development, one on vendor category search.
