Background

About Ankit Nakra

Product and AI leader with 15+ years’ experience building and scaling mission‑driven learning platforms across India, Asia, the USA and Africa. I helped take Project ECHO’s B2B SaaS platform from 25K to 200K monthly active users. I thrive on turning complex AI/ML concepts into meaningful products—recently shipping a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot with 96 % exact‑match@1 on internal QA while balancing model accuracy, latency and cost. Highlights: • Built and led a cross‑geo team of 10 product managers and 15 engineers, delivering 95 % on‑time releases through Scrum of Scrums, OKRs and strong stakeholder alignment. • Launched a localisation strategy that brought our platform to 15 languages and enabled regional expansion in Vietnam and Africa. • Designed governance features and improved programme onboarding flows, increasing registrations by 20 % and reducing time‑to‑launch. • Earlier roles include leading GDPR remediation across 40 sites (eliminating a €20 M compliance risk), developing a smart generator app that generated US $100K+ revenue, and mentoring new hires to shorten knowledge transfer time by 50 %. I’m passionate about harnessing AI and product strategy to solve real‑world problems, especially in education and healthcare. I enjoy coaching teams, simplifying complex ideas and building products that scale sustainably. If you’re building something impactful and need a hands‑on product leader who can guide strategy, ship AI‑powered features and grow high‑performing teams, let’s connect.
