Jaikrishnan Ganeshan

Owns product strategy and development for EvoChef's next-generation smart kitchen appliance portfolio, leading the end-to-end lifecycle from discovery to scale-up and defining product architecture across mechanical, electronics, firmware, IoT, cloud, AI, and UX layers.

Reframed a legacy EdTech platform around learning outcomes, led discovery across learner journeys and content architecture, and designed an AI-native product architecture enabling personalization while preserving pedagogical integrity.

Owned product definition for underwater robotics and medical systems, translating operational problems into system-level architectures spanning sensors, embedded control, AI perception, and user interfaces.

Provided product consulting for early-stage teams, translating abstract ideas into structured problem statements, MVP definitions, and roadmaps, and serving as a sounding board on architecture, feasibility, and build sequencing.

Founded and led an autonomous cooking product company, building from scratch through mechanical design, embedded systems, software orchestration, and UX, and leading the full lifecycle from discovery to pilot-scale deployment.

Led product innovation for smart food dispensing systems, balancing reliability, speed, and intuitive interaction, and designed computer-vision-driven interaction flows tightly coupled with embedded hardware behavior.

Worked on electro-mechanical systems, industrial design, manufacturing, and control systems at multiple companies including Gebr. Bode GmbH, SMA Railway Technology, Prikal Engineering, Nutech Industrial, and Ashok Leyland, forming the basis for a first-principles approach to hardware architecture.

Completed a PGDM in Product Management from Duke University in 2024.

Earned a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Mechatronics from Linköping University in 2015.

Completed a Bachelor of Technology in Mechatronics Engineering from SRM University in 2013.
