Career in full

Drove the current pivot — repositioning Kytes as an enterprise-scale, AI-queryable knowledge surface that keeps proprietary customer content out of the model layer. Leads product engineering, technical architecture, and the overall business and operations of Kytes.

• AI-native operating model. Restructured a peak 40–50 person org to 10 AI-leveraged operators (3 PMs, 3 senior architects, 4 builders); AI embedded across planning, build, ship, marketing, and analytics — shipping velocity unchanged.
• Architecture durability. Four strategic rebuilds, zero rearchitecture of data, security, or multi-tenancy primitives. Only the surface and use-case layer reshipped each time.
• Enterprise RAG with zero-trust IP boundary. Multi-tenant vector stores, RBAC and DRM-enforced isolation; customer content is queryable by their users but never enters model training or inference.
• Anthropic-first, MCP-shipping. Claude as primary model; MCP integrations extend the knowledge surface to client-side AI assistants; a model-agnostic gateway keeps swap cost under a day.

• Integrated Kytes with Astra to deliver a full-scale digital content publishing, IP-protection, and distribution product.
• Authored and executed the Kytes go-to-market roadmap, grounded in primary market research and cohort sequencing.
• Drove the administrative spin-out of a separate product entity to scale Kitaboo and Kytes commercially.
• Internalized production use of private and public ML models — GPT-4 and Claude-2 — across publishing workflows and reader-side AI surfaces; early in-market AI deployment for the segment.

• Expanded the Special Product Applications division to build "Astra," a universal content-publishing platform on a modern stack supporting all content types and sources, with Digital Rights Management for secure, seamless distribution.
• Invented a proprietary content format that delivers richer learner experience on significantly less data.
• Led the product engineering business of Kitaboo.

• Launched the Kytes brand by adapting the Kitaboo EdTech platform into enterprise and B2C verticals.
• Stood up an R&D division to track emerging trends in K-12 and Higher Education across Western markets, and shipped a market pilot of Kytes.

India's leading healthcare / homecare-services provider. Owned the technology division; team of up to 10.

• Boosted technology-division ROI 200% year on year, with per-member value up 150% YoY.
• Cut engineering expenditure 60% via CI/CD pipelines for medical-grade patient-data products and third-party integration optimization.
• Shipped the operational core: customer and field-force management, finance and multi-service operations engines, eCommerce on a microservice architecture, call-centre management, and a multi-platform service-aggregation marketplace.
• Delivered ML patient–caregiver matching on operational and medical data, an IoT/M2M engine for patient vitals and medication tracking, and a SaaS build of the stack for international homecare export.

• Founded an IT solutions and services startup serving startups, MNCs, and government social-sector initiatives. Managed 30+ projects, ~$500K cumulative budget, and a team of up to 20.
• Launched "Swaraksha" for the Maharashtra Highway Police and the "Thane Traffic" app for Thane Police — the latter endorsed by Amitabh Bachchan.
• Ran applied research across Defense Tech, FinTech, Health Tech, IoT, and EdTech to identify market patterns and AI/ML use cases.

• Designated Partner running technical and operational delivery for IT-consultancy clients from MNCs to startups; team of up to 10.
• Incubated in-house products: Hotel Lab (hospitality-ERP cloud platform), En Pointe (influencer marketing), and the DELI and WOOGEE AI lifestyle assistants.

• Took a WYSIWYG app-builder product from nascent to production; drafted the feature set and roadmap from market research and user insight.
• Bridged technology and business for scaling, and ran Gartner vendor briefings as part of GTM.

• Led engineering for a new office-productivity and digital-identity / security product with a team of up to 10 engineers.
• Built complex internet and intranet applications across platforms and authored the data-integrity, security, and access standards for the engineering function.
