About

I spent 2+ years at HPE building things that saved money and automated work nobody wanted to do. Moved infrastructure off AWS → saved $36K. Built an AI chatbot → 92% accuracy. Automated monitoring → gave back 500 hours to the team. Left HPE to start Kaizen Labs. Here's what I'm figuring out: Companies say they want AI. What they actually want is for their infrastructure to not break when they try to use it. I'm talking to people to understand if that's a real problem or just something I noticed. So far: 6 weeks of conversations. No product yet. No customers yet. Just trying to find something worth building. If you deal with AI infrastructure that's held together with hope and duct tape, email me. pranav@kaizenlabs.co.in
