Praveen Selvam is an AI-fluent technology consultant and builder with 16 years of experience designing and scaling mission-critical platforms, from early-stage product work to leading engineering organizations of 150+. He’s returned to a fintech platform he originally built to drive its AI-powered evolution—now managing ₹10,000 Cr+ in corpus—while also developing a stealth product that rethinks professional growth through capability ontologies and growth intelligence. His career arc spans ThoughtWorks’ craftsmanship, startup product-building at Indix, and rapid scaling as VP/Head of Engineering at Infra.Market, giving him a rare blend of hands-on architecture, people scaling, and operational rigor. Praveen focuses on weaving AI into product cores and workflows rather than treating it as a bolt-on, and he mentors organizations on where AI should augment judgment versus where it should be excluded. Based in Chennai, he advises early-stage teams on engineering scaling, AI adoption, and building durable platforms that serve people at scale.
