Hi, I'm Barnik πŸ‘‹
I build AI products at the enterprise frontier. At play, I'm a scuba diver.

About

I grew up watching my dad design computers β€” it lit a lifelong obsession with understanding and building software. That curiosity took me through engineering, hackathons, and eventually into product management at some of the most exciting early-stage B2B AI startups in India and the Middle East.

Over the last 6 years, I've worked at the frontier of enterprise AI β€” scaling Voice Contact Center AI from zero to $1.5M ARR and 5 million monthly conversations, leading platform strategy at LiaPlus AI, and now building autonomous workspace intelligence at Omnissa. I sit at the intersection of deep technical understanding and product strategy β€” I can spec, prototype, and ship, not just manage.
