I build AI and analytics products for supply chains, and the tooling that tells us they actually work.

Stackbox

Associate Product Manager on the analytics and control-tower platform used by leading FMCG and logistics companies across India and South-East Asia. I own the roadmap and the requirements, and I get into the technical details when that's what it takes to ship.

01 · AI quality

LLM Evaluation Platform

Every release of our analytics chatbot was a leap of faith. Nobody could say whether a prompt tweak or a model swap made answers better or quietly broke them. I designed and built an evaluation harness so that each release gets checked against the last one.

  • Problem
    Releases shipped blind. Regressions surfaced as client complaints.
  • Built
    Automated per-question diffs on latency, tokens per pipeline stage, cost and SQL quality, with AI-generated regression insights.
  • Outcome
    Eval cycles went from days of manual checking to one click.

CTS Chatbot Analytics · Phase 4 vs Phase 1
Per-question comparison: time, tokens and deltas for each question, with per-stage token breakdown and generated SQL for two chatbot versions side by side Release overview: token usage per question, pipeline-stage tokens radar chart, and percentage change in time and tokens across the whole question suite

Every question, side by side. Latency, tokens for each pipeline stage and the generated SQL for both versions, plus one-click AI insights on what changed. The whole release at a glance. Token usage per question, where tokens go across the pipeline, and the % change for every question in the suite.

02 · Platform ownership

Control Tower

An enterprise analytics and control-tower platform for 5+ clients. I own the roadmap and the technical requirements across three capabilities: self-serve dashboards, an LLM chatbot for conversational deep-dives, and a real-time temporal alerting system that surfaces what needs attention before anyone asks.

  • Dashboards
    Clients build their own views instead of filing requests.
  • Chatbot
    Ask "why" in plain language and get a SQL-backed answer.
  • Alerts
    Temporal anomaly detection that pushes issues to users.

03 · Product redesign · Setu

Setu, Redesigned

Setu is Stackbox's integration and data orchestration platform. Its promise is integrate once, connect many: ERPs, CRMs, e-commerce and legacy systems plug in once, and Setu connects, transforms and orchestrates their data into WMS, HR, planning and third-party tools. I led its end-to-end redesign, turning workflows that only engineers could operate into a product that ops teams can run themselves.

  • Scope
    End-to-end, from discovery and requirements through engineering delivery.
  • Hard part
    Making complex, branching pipelines readable without hiding their power.

Setu in production

Enterprises across FMCG, retail, manufacturing and logistics run their data through Setu.

Companies using Setu: P&G, Unilever, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Britannia, ITC, Adani Wilmar, Colgate, Marico, Mondelēz, Jentec Storage, Century Pacific Food, Nivea, Dabur, Kellogg's, KFC, Nykaa, udaan, Haldiram's, Flipkart Wholesale, Solv, Reckitt and Godrej Consumer Products

04 · Client integration · Philippines

20+ APIs to Go-Live

I led the client-facing API integration for a major supply-chain company in the Philippines. It covered Master Data for 5 entities with full CRUD, plus the Operations endpoints. I also designed an automated email notification system that matched the client's exact encoding spec, and ran daily syncs with their team through go-live.

  • Surface
    20+ endpoints across Master Data and Operations.
  • Detail
    Email notifications built byte-for-byte to the client's encoding spec.
  • Cadence
    Daily syncs with the client team until go-live.

05 · Internal AI

Claude Support Bots

Our most complex internal tools lived in a few people's heads. I distilled that institutional knowledge into domain-grounded, system-prompted Claude assistants. Now anyone can ask instead of waiting for the one person who knows.

  • Adoption
    ~150 employees across the company.

A client's order batch failed ingestion overnight. How do I reprocess it?

Check the failed episode first. It's usually a schema drift in the SKU column.
1. Open the run and filter by status = failed
2. Fix the mapping in the transform step
3. Re-trigger just that batch, not the full routine

~150 people ask it instead of pinging a senior engineer

Origins

I've always built things. Before product, it was GenAI data tools, blockchain cryptography, Android apps, cloud migrations, and an ML paper published by IEEE. That's why I can sit with engineers and argue about the right join.

AI LipReader Co-author · IEEE, March 2024

I co-authored "AI LipReader: Transcribing Speech from Lip Movements", presented at the 2024 International Conference on Emerging Smart Computing and Informatics (ESCI) in Pune and published by IEEE. The model uses CNNs for spatial features, LSTMs for temporal dependencies, and an adaptive attention mechanism. It was trained on MIRACL-VC1 and extended to LRS2 for a broader vocabulary.

Vehicle Damage Assessment Flask · YOLOv5 · MobileNetV2 · Xception

Trained models on a car-image dataset and built a web app around them. You upload photos of a car from two angles, and it predicts the damaged parts and estimates the repair cost.
