1. Head of Growth and Strategy

   IFEM and Siya HabitatsJanuary 2026 to Present

   Remote

   • Built the Siya Habitats fire safety product family around one building: Fire Watch Pro (continuous monitoring, dashboards live), Fire Audit Pro (offline-first audits, live), Fire Code Expert (clause-cited answers, now public on the website), the Drawing Checker (running), the Fire Design Engine and a published 3D MEP coordination model.
   • Architected the Fire Watch Pro cloud platform and its edge gateway, so a building's fire panel, pumps, tanks and fans report their readiness every minute instead of once a year.
   • Assembled a single fire code source of truth spanning the National Building Code, state fire rules and the Indian Standards they call up, so every audit item, answer and drawing finding cites its clause.
   • Grew siyahabitats.com from 6 to 31 pages in one pass, with 8 clause-cited guides (ACMS, fire NOC in Maharashtra and Delhi, audit checklists, norms by building height) and 15 Fire Code Expert answer pages, plus the 3D scrollytelling site for Fire Watch Pro.
   • Architected an AI agent workforce spanning 6 business functions (B2B sales, B2C, marketing, admin, academic and web), every agent with a defined input, a defined output and a human approval gate on anything customer facing; rolled out shared, read-only web research to every sales, marketing and research agent through one logged-in browser.
   • Moved daily marketing onto a retired 2018 phone running 24/7 at about two watts, with self-healing agents that draft, post, measure and listen; retired a cloud pipeline that ran at over 3x its monthly quota and cut owner time on daily engagement from 60 to 120 minutes to about 5.

Fire safety is checked once a year. Fire happens on the other 364 days. At Siya Habitats we build one family of products around one building: check the drawings before it is built, audit it on site, watch it every day after, and answer any code question with its clause. The goal is NOC-worthy drawings and a NOC-worthy solution, with every gap found and every rule cited.

The second product line I built at IFEM: everything an institute needs to admit, teach, examine and certify students, and a production line that writes and films its courses.
