AI PM Intern · IIIT Naya Raipur
Making AI products people can actually rely on.
I figure out the problem before the solution, then ship it and test that it works. Right now that's AI for real-estate investors at Nexgentic.

I write about how products are built, and what I'm learning as a 20-year-old aspiring PM. New post every week.

Toolkit
How I work.
01Discover
Go to the people who'll actually use it. At UNICEF, I spoke with the government officials who'd be using the dashboard. For case competitions, I ran primary research before writing a single slide.
02Define
UNICEF's brief was “give officials more data.” Talking to them showed the real need: turn the data they already had into insights they could act on at a glance. That reframe became the design: graphs and charts instead of a wall of numbers.
03Design
Wireframes first, decks later. Shipped a login flow for three kinds of users (students, teachers, admins) at Rootvestors (my first ever), then interfaces for Nexgentic's AI tools.
04Decide
PMs trade off every day. A small, real one: for this site's newsletter I compared Buttondown, Beehiiv and Kit. Buttondown's free plan stopped at 100 subscribers, and Beehiiv sent readers off to its own site to subscribe. Kit allowed 10,000 for free with the subscribe box right on my page, so Kit won.
05Build
At UNICEF, built a fully working admin dashboard for the FSSM program under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) division. At Rootvestors, wrote the PRDs and product deployment docs, backed by market research and competitive analysis. At Nexgentic, took over existing AI products and wrote the evals that test them, then built a new one end to end with my engineer.
06Measure
At Nexgentic I own AI testing (evals): I define what a “good” answer looks like, then trace every failure to its cause until the system passes. The work at Nexgentic and UNICEF had hard numbers behind it. They're confidential, so they stay off this page.

My first real exposure to product came in my first year of college, when I joined Rootvestors as a Product & Research Intern. I for the 1st time ever, worked on PRDs, user flows, and wireframes for an NEP aligned ed tech platform. What pulled me towards product wasn't really the excitement of shipping features. I enjoyed figuring out the problem first, understanding what a user actually needed before jumping to a solution.
I've kept following that instinct since. I've won two national product case competitions, Xcelerate 2026 and E Summit IIIT NR 2026, and I usually find myself enjoying the research and problem framing part of a case the most. At UNICEF's FSSM program, I worked as a Project Associate on the admin dashboard UX for a four tier government hierarchy architecture in Chhattisgarh. At Nexgentic, I now work on shipping AI products from scratch (ideation to development).
Outside of product, I'm the Student Coordinator of IIIT Naya Raipur's first-ever International Relations Cell, leading the B.Tech student group. Before that, I led the Model UN Club as Director General for its April 2026 edition. A lot of what I enjoy in both, understanding different perspectives, challenging assumptions, and arguing through tradeoffs, turns out to be surprisingly useful in product too.
I'd rather understand a user for two hours than ship a feature in one.
Let's build something.
I read every dm, mail and message. Roles you're hiring for, case-study walk-throughs, or a smarter angle on something I said above — all welcome. That's the fastest way to learn, isn't it? And yes, I reply to cold DMs. I've been on the other side.
