Work Services Process Team FAQ
The team

Lean team.
Serious product depth.

Solen is led by two product-minded builders who have worked across AI, enterprise software, government systems, SaaS, ERP, operations, and growth. We do not separate strategy from execution: the people who understand your idea are the same people responsible for shaping, building, and launching it.

No layers of account managers. No lost context. Direct access to the people building your product.

Founders

Product sense on both sides of the build.

Shivam and Vedant share one important trait: neither begins with technology. They begin with the user, the workflow, the business model, and the assumption the product must prove. Only then do they decide what should be designed, automated, or engineered.

Between them they bring experience across zero-to-one products, AI-native systems, government platforms, enterprise modernisation, SaaS, ERP, marketplaces, automation, GTM, and operational systems. Solen can think like founders, communicate like product strategists, and execute like an embedded product team.

Product, AI, and Growth Systems

An AI product builder and automation generalist working at the intersection of product, engineering, operations, and growth.

His delivery background includes enterprise ERP implementation programmes ranging up to roughly $3 million in contract value, covering requirement gathering, module rollout, data migration, integrations, user training, and post-go-live support across finance, sales, inventory, and operations teams.

His experience spans AI-native products, CRM systems, lead-management infrastructure, WhatsApp and email automation, customer operations, retention, and enterprise ERP support. That range lets him look past individual features and see how a product must work across the whole customer journey.

He is especially effective in the uncertain early stage: turning scattered ideas into a focused first version, connecting product decisions to commercial outcomes, and finding the fastest credible route to real users.

Is this solving a real and urgent problem?
What is the smallest version capable of proving it?
How will the user discover value quickly?
What needs human judgment, and what can safely be automated?
What should we learn before investing in the next version?

Product Strategy and Enterprise Systems

An AI-first product strategist and enterprise systems consultant with more than four years across government, manufacturing, healthcare, SaaS, and international markets.

He has led zero-to-one discovery, AI solutioning, system architecture, enterprise modernisation, and public-sector presales engagements exceeding $5 million.

At MSBC Group he helped establish a Product Discovery and Strategy function, designed AI-powered MIS and decision-support systems, contributed to an internal AI Factory, and led solution architecture across government, manufacturing, and enterprise platforms.

Previously he worked across MENA, APAC, and US markets at IndiaNIC and NICGulf, translating complex requirements into roadmaps, prototypes, backlogs, and delivery plans, with a stated sprint completion rate above 95%. Earlier in his career he worked on ERP implementation at Odoo and contributed to currently.club, which raised more than $1 million and appeared on Shark Tank India.

The partnership

Different strengths. One product standard.

You do not need separate agencies for strategy, prototyping, automation, development, and launch. Solen brings those disciplines into one compact team.

How we think about products.

01

Understand before building

We examine the user, the workflow, the commercial objective, and the real constraints before recommending features or technology.

02

Scope for learning

An MVP is not a smaller version of the final vision. It is the smallest credible product capable of producing useful evidence.

03

Show working progress

Clients see working builds throughout the engagement, not a presentation after weeks of silence.

04

Use AI with judgment

AI accelerates research, design, engineering, testing, and operations. The critical product and architectural decisions stay deliberate and human-led.

05

Build beyond the demo

A prototype should communicate the idea clearly. A launchable product must also handle real users, permissions, data, errors, integrations, and operational reality.

06

Stay close to the outcome

Shipping is not the final objective. The objective is learning whether the product solves the right problem, and what should happen next.

You work directly with us.

Your first conversation is not handed to a salesperson, and your requirements do not travel through layers of project managers before reaching the builders. From the first product discussion through scope, prototype, architecture, weekly reviews, and launch, Shivam and Vedant stay directly involved.

Bring us the idea, the unfinished prototype, or the problem worth solving.
