Conversational Flow: Fully guided bot with contextual prompts.
Automated Pitch Document Generation: Idea-stage and MVP-stage templates.
Mentorship Integration: Users could schedule follow-up calls.
Language Support: English & Hindi, with conversational translation fallback.
Resumable Sessions: Draft saving for up to 7 days, session re-engagement via pre-approved templates.
Tech Stack:
Messaging: WhatsApp Business API with Twilio
Conversational Engine: LangChain
AI/NLP: OpenAI GPT-4, Whisper
Cloud: AWS Lambdas, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3

My Contribution
Led the project as the Lead Technical Manager from discovery to delivery, managing stakeholder expectations, project timelines, budgets, and overall execution strategy.
End-to-End Leadership: Led the project from discovery to delivery, overseeing scope management, timeline execution, and stakeholder communication.
Architecture & Tech Management: Designed the end-to-end architecture across conversational AI, cloud deployment, and multi-modal data capture workflows.
Documentation & Planning: Authored the detailed Product Requirement Specification (PRS), technical solution documents, and sprint plans.
Stakeholder & Team Coordination: Acted as the bridge between YourStory business teams, AI/tech engineers, and cloud infrastructure specialists.
Execution Management: Ensured agile execution, frequent demos, risk mitigation, and successful deployment within tight timelines and MVP goals.
Impact & Recognition
Enabled grassroots entrepreneurs—many first-time tech users—to create structured pitch documents without needing any prior business expertise.
Speed and Scale: Reduced the idea-to-pitch timeline from weeks to under 5 minutes per submission.
High Adoption and Engagement: Achieved a 70%+ session completion rate during pilots, with overwhelmingly positive early feedback on ease of use and usefulness.
Strategic Milestone for Client: Strengthened YourStory’s Bharat Project branding as an inclusive entrepreneurship enabler beyond India’s metros.
Takeaway
Conversational AI = Simplicity Wins: Short, clear flows led to higher completion rates than trying to make it overly complex or "smart."
Voice is the Future: Voice submission integration had a noticeable impact—especially for non-English speakers.
Regional Language Support is Critical: Future-proofing solutions for vernacular audiences is essential to scale social-impact tech in India.
Agile Feedback Loops are Vital: Continuous user feedback helped fine-tune flows and categorize better, ensuring early trust in the AI outputs.
Cloud Infrastructure Readiness Pays Off: Using AWS managed services allowed rapid scaling, disaster recovery setups, and efficient media handling without bottlenecks.
