About

As the Founder of Pankh AI and with over Decade of leadership experience, I specialize in product strategy, entrepreneurship, and talent management. At Pankh AI, I am committed to leveraging artificial intelligence to revolutionize how businesses identify and develop talent, focusing on what individuals can truly achieve rather than traditional metrics. My prior roles include architecting AI systems at Valiance Solutions, where I contributed to innovative solutions in shipping, policing, and finance. Leveraging my background in partner ecosystem engineering at Microsoft and multi-cloud infrastructure at Citrix, I focus on building impactful systems that drive efficiency and unlock potential. My mission is to enable organizations to thrive by combining cutting-edge AI technologies with a people-first approach.
