Building intelligence
into products
that matter

I sit at the intersection of AI research, user empathy, and business outcomes — turning ambiguous problems into products people love.

Startups I built

Three swings. Three lessons. No regrets.

L
2021
Latepay

A payments infrastructure play aimed at solving last-mile settlement delays for gig workers and micro-businesses in India. Built the MVP, ran pilots, couldn't crack unit economics at scale.

Distribution is the product. We had tech but no wedge.
M
2022
Maidaan

Hyperlocal sports discovery and community platform connecting amateur athletes to grounds, coaches, and tournaments. Grew to early users across 3 cities before running out of runway.

Passion projects need painful problems. Ours was a nice-to-have.
Z
2023
Zzinc.in

B2B marketplace for industrial zinc and metal procurement. Targeted SME manufacturers struggling with opaque pricing and unreliable suppliers. Couldn't achieve liquidity on both sides.

Two-sided marketplaces are brutal. Always build supply first.

Ideas & Essays

I write about AI product management, building at the frontier, and the craft of shipping things people actually use. Published on Substack.

01
AI Product
Why Most AI Products Fail at the Last Mile

Everyone's shipping AI features. Almost nobody is designing the moment when the AI is wrong — and that's where trust is won or lost forever.

02
Product
How to Write a PRD That Engineers Actually Read

The format that gets buy-in from day one — no more 20-page docs nobody opens.

03
Startups
3 Startups, 3 Failures — What the Numbers Don't Show

A candid post-mortem on Latpay, Maidaan, and Zzinc — what I'd do differently.

04
AI / LLMs
Agentic Systems Are a Product Problem, Not an Engineering One

The hardest part of building with LLMs isn't the model — it's the UX of uncertainty.

05
AI Product
MCP Servers — What Every PM Needs to Know

Model Context Protocol is the new API layer. Here's how to think about it as a product person.

Hyrox Athlete
Competitive functional fitness racing

Hyrox tests a unique mix of running and functional strength. Eight 1km runs separated by eight workout stations — it's as much about mental pacing as physical prep. Racing taught me more about composure under pressure than any MBA module.
