Applied AI, strategy, and company building.

I work at the intersection of AI and business, turning technical capabilities into products, workflows, and operating results.

Most recently, I built Fursa, an AI-native hiring company.

MY APPROACH

Applied AI starts with the work.

The useful unit of AI transformation is the workflow.

Start with the business problem, understand how the work happens today, decide where intelligence changes the economics, and design the system around it.

What outcome is actually worth improving?

Selected work

Fursa

AI-native hiring company

I built Fursa as a production AI and data system spanning job intelligence, search, recruiting workflows, and AI agents.

The interesting part was rarely "using AI". It was deciding where AI belonged in the system.

Background

How I got here.

Before Fursa, I founded Polynomial Studio, where I built and tested new technology products. Earlier, I led an early-stage technology company as General Manager and advised companies and investors on strategy, technology, and new business models.

I started my career at Emaar, where I helped build its digital innovation function before moving into corporate strategy across international growth, diversification, technology, and new businesses.

I studied engineering at IIT Bombay and business at IIM Ahmedabad.
