Voice AI Product Leader · Bengaluru

I build AI products that work at production scale.

I lead Voice AI products from problem definition to production outcomes - setting product direction, aligning teams, making the right technical calls, and improving the metrics that matter.

Product leadership, grounded in how AI works in the real world.

I am a Voice AI product leader with about six years of experience turning complex AI capabilities into products that teams can ship, customers can use, and businesses can scale.

Today, I am Program Head at Justdial, where I lead a no-code, multi-agent Voice AI platform. Previously, I was co-founder and CEO of LiaPlus AI, an enterprise Voice AI company serving BFSI and GovTech use cases across four countries: India, UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa.

My role sits at the intersection of customer problems, product direction, architecture decisions, team execution, reliability, and unit economics. I lead the people and decisions that turn AI into a dependable product and a measurable business outcome.

On stage, at the booth, in the room.

I lead from the outcome backward.

01

Start with the problem

A strong AI product starts with a specific user or business problem, not a model looking for a use case.

02

Design for production

Latency, reliability, language coverage, operating cost, and team usability shape decisions from the start.

03

Make trade-offs clear

I stay close enough to the technology to direct the architecture, while giving teams the context to execute well.

04

Measure what changed

A launch is a milestone. The outcome is the product working repeatedly in the real world.

Building an AI product that needs to work beyond the demo?

I am interested in product leadership opportunities where I can own the outcome end to end - from product direction and team execution to production scale and business impact.
