I am Bharat Gandhi. I build AI products and take them to market. Currently, I am a Platform Product Manager at District by Zomato, leading search, discovery, personalization and AI-native products.
About
I enjoy growing and building things from the ground up. At District by Zomato, I own app-wide search, discovery, personalization, notifications and AI-native products, reporting directly to the CEO. My work spans contextual search, voice-driven agents and new ways to discover going-out experiences.
Previously, I led product and growth in an advisory role at CanvasX AI, taking agentic workflow products from prototypes to production and helping bring getsketch.ai to 25+ SMB teams in India. At Audible/Amazon, I built content intelligence, production and monetization platforms across global marketplaces. At RateGain, I built travel-pricing data products and ML-powered scraping infrastructure. I also do speaking engagements on AI and product building. If you are a startup struggling with growth, GTM and product craft, I would love to help you. I also teach meditation and write.

Education
Cornell University
2019 — 2021MS, Information Systems — Jacobs Technion-Cornell dual MS
Cornell Tech was one of the best learning experiences of my life. During COVID, I had the fortune to remain on campus and continue interacting with other grad students unlike most students at the time. Here, I failed at my first startup, built something in every class, and made as many friends as I could.
Manipal University Jaipur

Alongside learning the basics of CS Engineering, I spent most of my time understanding media, founded a filmmaking society, led and dounded multiple student bodies that ultimately allowed me to architect Rajasthan's biggest student-run cultural festival by footfall. (in a single iteration)
