All you should know about me
My story, philosophy, and principles. A deep dive into my educational background, the tools I use, and the milestones that define my journey.
I am a passionate entrepreneur, innovator, and builder at heart, driven by a singular mission: to help build products that create a lifetime-scale impact and to establish a meaningful presence within the global business ecosystem. My journey has been shaped by constant evolution, continuous learning, and an unwavering commitment to understanding how great products and scalable businesses are built—not merely in theory, but from the ground up.
Born in Tamil Nadu, India, I grew up moving across many cities — an experience that became one of my biggest assets: I adapt rapidly, connect authentically across cultures, and thrive in ambiguity. Three passions crystallised early: entrepreneurship, science and technology.
Acting on that, I founded DORK Company in 2021 — a bootstrapped business development agency in Bengaluru — to learn the startup ecosystem from the inside. Four years and three continents of clients later, I'd worn every operational hat: product discovery, go-to-market, hiring, vendor management, and contracts. In 2025 I executed a structured leadership transition, handing the company to a trained successor.
Since then I've gone deep on what comes next: 600+ hours of accredited study in product, AI and sales operations, and — to prove it rather than just claim it — a private self-hosted AI platform plus a suite of self-built and open-source products I've designed and built myself. I treat everything I build like a real product: explicit scope, honest trade-offs, and documentation a stranger could rebuild from.
I arrived in Prague in February 2026 and am engaged to my partner — a Czech and EU citizen. As a family member of an EU citizen (residency in process), I have free access to the Czech and EU labour market — the same standing as a Czech citizen — so I need no work permit and no employer sponsorship. Now I'm looking to join a team where I can own AI product, product operations or business development and grow inside Europe's vibrant ecosystem.
My near-term aim is clear: to become an AI Product Manager in Prague. I work daily across a modern AI stack — Claude, Ollama, n8n, Hermes and OpenClaw — pairing genuine product discipline with the technical reality of building with AI.
