Karan Purohit — Co-Founder

With 7+ years of experience, I’ve built and scaled AI-first products across speech, NLP, LLMs, and computer vision — taking a B2B SaaS platform from 0 to ₹1Cr+ MRR. My work spans multilingual conversational agents, WhatsApp-first debt recovery workflows, OCR pipelines, and internal copilots using RAG and transformers. I blend deep ML expertise (TTS, LLM, ASR, RAG, conversational AI) with product strategy, GTM, stakeholder alignment, and team execution. Consulting Projects (Side Hustles I Build for Impact) Outside my full-time role, I love building practical AI solutions that solve real business problems. As a builder, I take on selective consulting projects where I can apply LLMs, RAG, and voice AI in real-world workflows. – LLM Platform Copilot: Designed an embedded agentic assistant for a B2B platform using RAG. Helped users get real-time, context-aware support, improving task completion speed and reducing onboarding effort. – Voice Biometric Call Routing: Re-architected the call-forwarding system using voice biometrics to auto-identify callers and dynamically assign agents. Reduced routing latency by 20%. AI Training & Mentorship (Giving Back to the Community) I actively engage in corporate training, guest lectures, and mentorship alongside my full-time work — driven by a love for teaching and shaping the next generation of AI talent. Delivered sessions through platforms like GrowthSchool, upGrad, and various EdTech firms on topics like LLMs, ML/DL, NLP, and Voice AI. Trained 100+ engineers, and aspiring data scientists via webinars, workshops, and 1-on-1 sessions.
