Experience

N

Navi

2026 – 2026

Product Management Intern

Learnings: UPI growth & retention, NLP based text to sql, user calling and everything credit score. Burned enough dollars on Cursor to graduate from “use SOTA for everything” to actually orchestrating open-source models and agent harnesses.

O

Ola Electric

2025 – 2025

Founder's Office Intern

2025 – 2025

Worked with the sharpest folks in the EV ecosystem and occasionally understood what was going on. Learnings: ECNs, 4680, vehicle lifecycle planning, strategic ambiguity and how not to look confused when someone says “BOM cost optimization.” Was asked to do it full-time, so apparently I looked less confused than I felt.

2025 – 2025

Intern

VC life: Coffee, conviction and mythical animals. Read every a16z blog, BVP roadmap, and startup deck that mentioned "AI" at least 3 times. Learnings: Sector research, AI trend mapping, and how to pretend to understand LLM infrastructure on the first read.

T

TrueFoundry

2025 – 2026

Founder's Office

Learnt that enterprise AI is less “just call the API” and more observability, RBAC, cost panic, latency panic, and interoperability nightmares. Spent most days around GTM, enterprise sales, MCP, AI Gateway, and RAG systems that actually have to survive production.
