A PM who ships - and argues with the brief.
I work on consumer AI for the Indian market - products that sit at the intersection of LLM capabilities and local context. Most recently: gitachat.life, a scripture-grounded emotional wellbeing companion I shipped in 24 hours. 250+ users and 10+ paying customers in the first week, with positioning refined over that same week based on competitive analysis.
Before this, I spent 3+ years across Barclays Investment Bank (Global Reconciliation Tech - enterprise fintech tooling across $150M+ daily flows) and Sevame (hyperlocal marketplace, 0-to-1 to 10K+ users as first PM). I also built an AI Compliance Readiness Tool - an LLM + RAG product that evaluates early-stage Indian startups on data protection and AI maturity. MSc Advanced Computer Science, University of Manchester. BTech Computer Engineering, NMIMS.
Consumer AI
LLM products built for Indian context and language.
Fintech Ops
Enterprise reconciliation tooling. $150M+ daily flows. Stakeholder delivery across eng, ops, product.
0-to-1 Marketplace
First PM at Sevame. 10K+ users, 60+ partners, 3 cities.
LLM Products
RAG pipelines, prompt design, output validation, evals.
Competitive Positioning
Found category-of-one positioning for Gita Chat in 7 days.
Safety-Critical Design
Curated retrieval over coverage. Hallucinations are a feature bug.
3+ years of shipping in regulated, messy, and unclaimed markets.
Fintech compliance work taught me constraints. Marketplace work taught me velocity. AI product work taught me that positioning beats features. Gita Chat is where all three converge.
Selected work.

Things I've written about shipping.
Curated retrieval vs. full RAG for safety-critical LLM products
Why 60 hand-picked verses outperformed full corpus retrieval - and what coverage actually costs in trust.

On velocity, killing features fast, and why one product out of thirty was worth the other twenty-nine.
