@haiderali29
Product and analytics leader at Dastgyr who built an LLM-first trade finance product and tripled MRR.
What I'm looking for
At Dastgyr, I built an LLM-first trade finance product for suppliers, with invoices factored by third-party capital and credit risk underwritten by the marketplace. It ran across six markets, and monthly recurring revenue grew from $200K to $600K.
Before that, I reframed Dastgyr’s stalled growth as a supply problem. Supplier diversification and route consolidation lifted operational margins 50%; I also rebuilt the claims process, taking NPS from 22% to 68% and average case resolution from 290 minutes to 16.
At Daraz, I led customer experience data strategy across five markets, raising repurchase by 13 percentage points. At Afiniti, I worked on AI-driven contact centre optimisation, delivered $60M in incremental client revenue, and ended as Data Science Architect running an organisation of 24 across six countries. I also co-founded Ace Labs, an EdTech venture selling STEM and STEAM kits through direct ecommerce.
