Saurabh Arora

Founder-turned Product Manager building AI-native B2B SaaS with code-first, prototype-to-revenue loops.
What I'm looking for
I’m a builder-turned-Product person working at the intersection of technology, science, and philosophy—so I express it by building things. Over 11 years, I co-founded an AI startup in 2015 India that was acquired by Ericsson, scaled a B2B SaaS business from ~$3M to $9M ARR, and took an agentic platform from whiteboard to GA.
Right now, I’m Founding Product Manager (Staff) at Altimate AI in Bengaluru: first PM hire, owning vision/strategy/roadmap and working alongside the VP PM while growing my share of the codebase (50 commits/mo). I prototype daily with LLMs (1M+ tokens/day across providers) and run a tight ship loop: idea → prototype with LLMs → production with engineering → user validation → revenue—repeat. Previously, at Acceldata I owned the AI/ML product roadmap and helped take an agentic platform 0→1 and to GA (driving $2M pipeline), and at Hevo Data I helped pivot SMB to mid-market (ARR ~$3M→~$9M in 22 months) while shipping 35+ integrations and delivering 30%+ gains in latency, reliability, and activation.
