Experience

Founder building Arka, an AI-powered scam-call detection product under Unimind. Arka listens to live calls, scores fraud risk in real time, and warns users before they act. Architected the fraud-decision engine on a strict separation of concerns: an LLM extracts evidence, deterministic code does the scoring, and hard rules override — keeping decisions auditable and resistant to model drift Working on a working MVP with a live OTP-block feature functioning end to end Set product direction around a B2C consumer wedge, with the thesis that consumer call data builds the infrastructure to later power a B2B (BFSI/bank) offering Leading a lean team, owning product, GTM, and fundraising as a solo founder Grounded in operator-level product experience across Indian fintech and mobility (Zepto, Ola Electric, Simpl, Jupiter, NPCI).
