About

Exploring AI agents, the need of the hour for enterprises, enabling transformative use cases like support, success, onboarding, marketing, and sales through autonomous AI solutions. I’m passionate about harnessing AI to solve real-world business challenges and drive impactful innovation. As a passionate entrepreneur, I've always been fascinated by the power of video storytelling. But I realized that brands struggle to connect with customers personally. Text, images, and generic videos are old school. That's why I founded Personaliz.ai - to leverage the full potential of video and make it personal. With high engagement rates, longer attention spans, and simplified complex storytelling, personalized videos amplify customer experiences. Our AI-powered platform has already delivered remarkable results for several BIG Brands. Now, we're scaling big! At Personaliz.ai, we're on a mission to humanize customer engagement, one personalized video at a time. Join us in revolutionizing the way brands connect with their audience. Let's connect and explore how personalized videos can transform your customer engagement strategy." #AI #VideoStorytelling #CustomerEngagement #Personalization #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #MarketingTechnology Background: Successfully Exited 1st Startup Smatbot and an ex-Oracle software developer, I find excitement in solving business problems with tech solutions. Whatever I do, I love doing it from my heart and with 100% committment, will not do a thing which I dont like (well, don't be fooled, it is not easy every day ;-)! Specialities: SaaS 0 to 1, Product development, Big data development, Machine Learning, All the hats that an entrepreneur would wear like team building & managing, bootstraping, market research, sales, marketing, fund raising so on.
