01 / PRD + FIGMA + n8n · SALES TECH

AI-Powered Client Insight Agent

Sales reps spent 1–2 hours per meeting across 4–6 tools, causing fragmented insights and inconsistent readiness. This AI workflow agent auto-curates financial data, news, LinkedIn, and CRM signals — compressing 7 manual prep steps into 2 clicks. Built end-to-end with PRD, Figma flows, n8n automation & demo video.

⏱️ Reduced prep steps from 7 manual actions → 2 clicks
📉 Goal: 50% prep-time reduction · 75% preparedness score
💰 Target: 10–15% uplift in opportunity-to-deal conversion
📊 KPI: 80% weekly active adoption within first quarter

GetBetter — Mental Health & Performance Platform for Elite Athletes

Young elite athletes carry Olympic-level pressure — often far from home, with no one who truly understands them. GetBetter is a sports-specialised mental health platform built around three pillars: counselling with sports psychologists, a personal mental performance dashboard, and athlete-specific training routines. A 60-second daily mood check-in quietly feeds all three modules — making every recommendation smarter over time.

🧠 Counselling: live video or async text, built around training schedules
📊 Dashboard: tracks mood, focus & anxiety before it costs on race day
🏋️ Routines: breathwork & visualisation timed to competition cadence
⚡ Full Discovery → Definition → Design cycle, end-to-end

AI-First Skill Architect — Growth Engine for Workplace Learning

Companies spend six figures on 5,000-course libraries yet the skills gap never shrinks — because watching content ≠ building skills. This AI-powered LMS replaces "just-in-case" training with "just-in-time" performance by passively mapping real skill gaps from Jira, GitHub & Slack, then nudging 2-minute Micro-Modules exactly when they're relevant.

🧠 Passive Skill Mapping: AI analyses real work signals → live Team Skill Heatmap
⚡ Contextual Learning: 2-min Micro-Module nudges replace 2-hour course dumps
📈 Promotability Path: dynamic AI-tutor roadmap from current role → dream role
📊 Metric Shift: ❌ Course Completions → ✅ Skill Velocity

How I Think

PM Principles
I Build By

🔍

Problem Before Solution

Every project starts with a crisp problem statement and user segment definition before a single line of code or design. I write Problem Statements as standalone documents to pressure-test the "why" before the "what."

📏

Success Has Numbers

Vague goals lead to vague products. I define quantitative success metrics upfront — conversion rates, engagement rates, time-savings — so product decisions stay honest and accountable to real outcomes.

👥

Specific Users, Not Averages

From gig riders with entry-level Androids in Tier-2 cities, to enterprise sales reps in B2B SaaS — I obsess over the specific human, not the generic persona. Real constraints drive better product decisions.

⚡

Builder Mentality

As an engineer-turned-PM, I build MVPs to validate hypotheses — not just write docs. Shipping Saarthi as a live app, or building an actual Streamlit agent, grounds my product thinking in technical reality.

🌀

AI as Infrastructure

I see GenAI not as a feature, but as the core infrastructure of next-generation products. Each project treats AI agents, semantic analysis, and LLMs as foundational product layers — not bolt-ons.

🎯

Cross-Functional Clarity

My PRDs include target segments, stakeholder maps, KPIs, and Figma prototypes — bridging engineering, design, and business. Good PM work eliminates ambiguity before it becomes a costly misalignment.

I bring a rare combination: enterprise execution experience from Cognizant, deep technical fluency as an engineer, and a product-first mindset honed through building real AI products from scratch.

My edge as an APM candidate is that I don't just theorize about AI products — I build and ship them. From a live fintech app (Saarthi) to a functioning AI agent (Job Tracker), I validate ideas with working software.

I've developed full PRDs with problem statements, user segments, success metrics, and Figma prototypes — demonstrating end-to-end product thinking that spans discovery to delivery.

Domain experience spans HRtech, SalesTech, and Fintech — with a strong lens on underserved markets (gig economy, emerging India) and enterprise B2B sales automation.
