@leenakesarkar
I build AI and SaaS products from complex workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've defined MVPs for AI supply-chain and pharmaceutical SaaS products, translating procurement, supplier discovery, drug-recall, and regulatory workflows into PRDs, user stories, wireframes, and release plans.
At Shyva, I set the functional baseline for Total Landed Cost modeling and helped shape a one-year roadmap supporting a $4M seed-stage fundraising target. At LSPedia, I shipped 20+ features for a Drug Recall module and reduced support tickets by 45% through root-cause-driven prioritization.
My product work is grounded in technical delivery, from building knowledge platforms at Regeneron to accelerating API integrations and insurance-product releases at Capgemini and Majesco. I bring SQL, Python, analytics, and Agile product ownership to turn complex requirements into usable products.
