Azad Jagtap — Co-Founder
I’m a curious builder, driving AI-powered personalisation at Meesho—India’s largest e-commerce platform for the next billion users of Bharat. I lead machine learning initiatives that make online shopping intuitive, inclusive, and impactful for a diverse audience, many of whom are experiencing internet commerce for the first time. My success lies in tight collaboration across engineering, design, data science, and ML Ops to tackle real-world problems by solving for affordability, language, and trust in underserved markets. Before this, I’ve built and shipped in a wide range of environments—from deploying ML models at Standard Chartered Bank to working across engineering & product teams at Mastercard, Innovaccer, Cipla, and even a VC fund. I’ve also cleared CFA Level 1, grounding my tech focus in business fundamentals. Whether it’s improving recommendations in e-commerce or building critical ML models, my north star is simple: solve real problems, not just exciting ones. My Focus Areas: → AI/ML Product Management - Personalisation → Ranking & Recommendation Systems → Responsible and Inclusive AI → Mentorship On here, I write about: → Solving problems using AI/ML (Beyond the Buzzwords) → Life Journey and Lessons → AI, Product Management, and Leadership Let’s build products that serve everyone, not just the top 1%. If you're working in this space (or just curious), feel free to reach out. Always up for a good build-chat.
