AI Product ManagerScaling AI Products to Revenue

I'm Nitesh Khirwal. I specialize in LLM products, go-to-market strategy, and growth. Led €1B+ IPO readiness, managed €50M+ budgets, and built revenue-generating AI products from prototype to live users. Drive measurable outcomes through data-driven product strategy and technical execution.

How I Deliver AI Products

Revenue-first execution that turns AI concepts into profitable products

Commercial Anchor

Define the business needle (MRR growth, payback, retention lift) before model choices. At IKOSIA this meant obsessing over take‑rate + repeat usage, not ‘AI completeness’.

User Evidence > Opinions

Instrument prototypes for First Value Time & abandonment events. CareerCompanion iterations came from where users dropped—not roadmap debates.

Right-Sized Architecture

Start with prompts; graduate to RAG when retrieval quality blocks scale; consider fine-tuning only when volume + latency economics warrant it.

Product Leadership Evolution

From data analysis to AI product strategy—each career stage built capabilities that now converge in AI product management: analytical rigor, enterprise scale thinking, growth strategy execution, and hands-on technical delivery.
