Working at the intersection of AI X Ecommerce
On AI - Working with some of the largest publicly listed companies - in D2C ($2B+ marketcap) and Finance/Bank ($40B+ marketcap) to build products for them to solve their problems
How will AI change the dynamics on human-computer interaction is an area of deep interest and I spend considerable amount of time thinking about it.

Founded EasyEat in 2019, exited in 2024 - after being merged with FoodMarketHub (which is funded by GoVentures, SIG, AC Ventures)
Raised roughly $7M from top notch angels and VC funds across US & India. press
Scaled to roughly 1M users, were processing transactions worth roughly $115M annually for 1500 restaurant partners in Malaysia and Indonesia with a talented team of 150+ enthusiastic employees across India, Malaysia & Indonesia.
Helped our restaurant partners earn additional $15M/year through our product. Was extremely humbling to see the value we provided to roughly 10,000+ families in the South East Asia (SEA) region.
Built some of the industry first features which led to considerable user love
- QR based ordering
- Call a waiter (from phone)
- Split & Pay while ordering
- Recommendations while ordering offline
- CRM for restaurants with automated customer data capturing

I met with the founder of FIITJEE (Z47, Kotak funded $500M company) when he was starting his edtech venture
I joined him as the first founding Product Manager of Edfora where our vision was “Education for All”
Served 1M+ users across 6th to 12th classes
Absolutely enjoyed working with a rockstar team and was soon promoted to promoted to Chief Product Officer (CPO) within an year to handle a team size of 10+ rockstar PMs and designers.
We grew from roughly $0.5M revenue to ~$10M in revenue over these 4 years
Some product innovations we did -
- Improved course completion rate to 24% (from an industry avg 15%) by creating products & workflows for all stakeholders in a students’ life i.e teachers & parents
- Created a syllabus <-> concept mapping and mapped every learning content to it.
- Used AI to then figure out learning gaps for each student and created personalized learning roadmaps for them
Feedback from CEO of the company
Feedback from the educational advisor of the company

Started the company with two of my best friends, Misbah and Sagar
Cibola was the first ‘chat & pay’ app in India. We were inspired by Venmo in US. video
We dropped out of our respective colleges to build the product and also raised a seed round from some angels press
Realized that regulatory challenges wouldn’t let us build the dream product, returned investors money (some post earning it even after 1+ years)
