Builder | Exploring How Agentic AI Will Reshape Work

Me in 10 seconds

I’m a builder at heart and a tech pragmatist. I have the grit to take on hard goals — whether it’s running marathonsRan my first half-marathon in 2006 in Mumbai; followed with 2 full marathons in Mumbai and 3 half-marathons. Kaveri Trail Marathon has been my favorite course., vipassana meditationCompleted a 10 day vipassana retreat in Igatpuri in 2003. Have continued my practice at a personal level., long-distance swimmingLearnt to swim at 40; have tried open water swimming for 1.5k, writing codeBetween 2006-2015 I won 7 hackathons (with 0 hours of sleep); this was before hackathons became hiring events and Huberman launched a podcast., or bootstrappingI bootstrapped an ad-tech platform and grew it to a 140+ team (80+ engineering) staying profitable without venture funding a company for 13 years.

Now

I’m exploring how Agentic AI can empower operators, automate decisionsbuilding https://www.AskPrisma.ai, and reimagine workflowsthoughts on this - https://athonlab.com/articles/2025-01-28-rpa-vs-agentic-process-automation/ and org chartsthoughts on this - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/akshaysurve_most-orgs-will-see-10x-productivity-with-activity-7350749999690891264-uoEE/ from the ground up. Currently, tinkering with LLM-based systems, prototyping agentic workflows, and staying deeply hands-on with code, design, and real-world problems.
