About

I'm a Senior Product Manager with 8+ years of experience building products from 0→1 and scaling them to serve thousands of users. What makes me different: I can sit in a system design meeting, understand the trade-offs, and translate them into sharp product requirements — because I've built backend systems myself (Node.js, Python, AWS, REST APIs, Docker). My AI product experience is real but specific. I've shipped AI features across three products: • RAG-based customer service chatbot (70% real-time resolution, up from 30%; resolution time cut from 4 hrs to <5 min) • ML-powered sentiment analysis and issue prediction (guest ratings improved 3.3 → 3.85) • ML lead scoring system (15% conversion rate increase, 20% shorter sales cycle) I'm now deepening my hands-on AI foundation by building RAG and LangChain projects from scratch — because the best AI PMs understand the stack they're shipping. Domain experience: EdTech · LegalTech · FinTech · Hospitality Currently open to: Senior PM, Director of Product, Head of Product roles at AI-first companies — in India or remote. 📍 Gurugram, India | 🌐 nikhilkhandelwal.in | 💻 github.com/Khande1n
