About

Latest update: Co-Founder, CGO at Lyzr Launched Everything AI --> It's Open Sea for AI tools. www.everythingai.club. Previously, I ran a performance marketing company: Growthspartan and a life skills platform: Masterlife. I like writing about business growth & personal growth. Surprisingly both in principle have a lot in common. The world is constantly signalling and it's getting extremely noisy. The only way to stand out today is to be you. To be the 1%, your actions, habits and thinking have to be like the 1%. Input metrics is all that matters. A quick highlight reel: 1) Did an Olympic triathlon in 2016. I wanted to do this before i turned 30 and was lucky to have a friend and an accountability partner for this. 2) Graduated from Columbia University in 2012. Realized that i wasn't the smartest person in the room. 3) Climbed Stok Kangri (~20,000 ft) in 2017. Worth doing in your 20's if you're willing to rough it out. 4) Wrote a book called Scale Smart in 2019. Book writing is one of the hardest things i've done. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone today. It's easier to start a podcast or create videos than write a book. It's sold more than 4,000+ copies. 5) I lived in South America, SE Asia, Africa, US and Europe for quite a few years. Most people are fundamentally the same. 6) I played basketball growing up. Played for college, university, state & was called for India camp. A lot of my identity comes from basketball. I was so lucky to play in a team and make friends that i am still in touch with today. 7) Being born into a happy family. My father was a pilot, my mom was an amazing teacher and my brother set the bar high growing up. They've taught me to have work hard, have fun, build good relationships and do things with high integrity. Outside of marketing, I like teaching, connecting with people, selling and creating new things. How we could work together: 1) Start paying for Lyzr :) 2) Advisory, Equity at AI startups. Can help with growth. 3) Check out AI tools at Everything AI 4) Need help with setting up teams, process, growth. #marketing #growth #AI

Experience

Lyzr ai

Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer

Jan 2024Present · 2 yrs 2 mos · United States · Remote

  • Latest update: Raised Series A. We're helping Enterprises build their Agentic OS.
  • 0 to $4M cARR in 9 months for Jazon: AI SDR
  • Build Gen AI apps 90% faster with Lyzr. The world's simplest Agent Framework.
  • For devs: We are the low code alternate to Langchain.
  • For non devs: Wordpress: Websites :: Lyzr: AI Agents. Think of us as architecture to build Agents.
  • Our Mission: To Build OGI (Organizational General Intelligence) and accelerate the adoption of AI.
  • I lead product, partner & platform marketing with a focus on revenue & lead gen. Also involved with end to end strategy for growth, building teams, running experiments & general ops. Lyzr is based out of NY, SF & India.
  • Becoming Gen AI powered today can be done in 3 ways:
  • 1) Use a SAAS application (but data isn't local & privacy could be an issue).
  • 2) Use Hugging Face & Langchain, the LLM building blocks to build your LLM application. This would need some AI knowledge and can take a decent amount of implementation time.
  • 3) Work with a AI partner or AI shop but its expensive & can take 3-6 months.
  • With Lyzr you can launch super agents, single task agents and custom agents in a matter of minutes or days. Plus it's at 1/100th the cost of implementation.
