I'm Piyush, a Chief of Staff & Tech Leader.
Here's a quick intro about me and what I love to do
My journey into tech
My tech journey began at BITS Pilani, where I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering. What started as tinkering with Arduino and LED displays evolved into a passion for building products that impact millions. From creating Python tools for font modifications to developing conversational apps based on psychological assessments, I've always been drawn to solving complex problems with elegant solutions.
From Code to Strategy
My career took an exciting turn when I joined GradCapital's Founders' Office, helping secure $1M in funding and establishing a Pan-India college program. This experience showed me how technology and business strategy intersect. At Paytm, I enhanced iOS security systems, and at Haptik, I drove product initiatives that increased conversions by 1.4x through better UX design.
Beyond the Tech World
Life isn't just about code and strategy. I'm a trained Indian classical musician with 6+ years of training, qualified as Bhushan Tritiya from Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh. Music has taught me discipline, creativity, and the importance of continuous practice—lessons that translate beautifully into tech.
As a robotics hobbyist with a strong interest in animatronics, I love bringing ideas to life through hardware. I also organize open-stages on literature and cinema, with a particular fascination for the use of colors in film—a passion that influences my approach to UI/UX design.
Present Day Impact
As Chief of Staff at Pixis AI, I'm at the forefront of AI-driven marketing technology. I've built LLM-based intelligence layers that slash campaign setup time by 60%, revolutionized data pipelines to improve sync times by 160x, and pioneered our R&D efforts in Generational AI for hyperrealistic creative generation.
When I'm not architecting the future of MarTech, you'll find me exploring new robotics projects, analyzing films for their visual storytelling, practicing my music, or diving into the latest advancements in AI and machine learning. I believe in continuous learning and the power of cross-disciplinary thinking.
