🚀 Building AI-Native Foundations to Reimagine Enterprise Products, Data, and Growth
I’ve spent the past year vibe coding and prototyping AI-native systems — not just to experiment, but to understand the generational shift that AI represents. What began as curiosity has evolved into conviction: every product, every workflow, and every growth motion in the enterprise will be reshaped by AI.
🔍 Why AI-Native is a Generational Opportunity:
🔹 AI as a Scale Multiplier
AI can radically streamline and amplify key business functions — from GTM and customer support to compliance and engineering.
🔹 Enterprise Data as Proprietary Advantage
AI unlocks trapped insight inside systems of record, workflows, and unstructured data — turning internal knowledge into durable moats.
🔹 New Ways of Working and Operating
We're entering an era of agents, real-time orchestration, and policy-aware context — reshaping how products work and how teams collaborate.
🛠️ What I’ve Been Building (Through an Enterprise Lens):
🔸 Responsible AI Adoption
🔸 AI-Native Access Control
🔸 Enterprise Onboarding with AI
🔸 AI-Native Data Engineering
🔸 Reimagining GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance)
🤝 A Call to Action
Everyone will experience this AI transition in their own way. But no matter who you are — a product manager, an executive, or an individual contributor — you’ll need to cross the AI chasm. It’s daunting. It’s unfamiliar. But it’s necessary. And on the other side is the most meaningful learning curve of your career.
I’m grateful I took the leap. The experience has been transformative — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Let’s connect if you’re exploring how AI-native thinking can reshape your product, your data, or your GTM. 
Venture capital investor focused on early-stage cloud, ai/ml and cybersecurity startups. I help technical founders build lasting companies as a trusted long-term partner.
I enjoy supporting founders with a balance of technical know-how, customer insights and empathy. Over time, I have built a deep network of software builders, sales leaders, investors and CXO buyers that I try to make available to founders.
My first exposure to cloud was as a software engineering intern in 2008 who was tasked with building scalable Apps on AWS. I was a product manager at AppNeta (acquired by Broadcom), a Bain Capital-backed startup where I built network and application performance management products.
Outside of work, I enjoy building communities and bringing people together. I have a BS in Computer Science from IIT and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management.
