01, Now
Right now: teaching AI to think like a seasoned lawyer.
In July 2026 Ravi took the CEO seat at LawVyn.ai, an AI-native legal case management platform built in Hyderabad for India's law firms and advocates. The thesis is simple, practising law is demanding enough; running a practice shouldn't be. Cases, hearings, drafts, deadlines and clients in one intelligent timeline, so brilliant legal judgment stops losing hours to manual work.

03, Story
From Tesco's Clubcard to India's courtrooms.
Ravi's career runs through Publicis Sapient (program-managing one of Europe's largest retail ecommerce platforms), CEIPAL in Rochester, New York (steering a cloud HCM product suite), and Oorwin (starting and scaling an AI recruitment platform to 700+ customers and 110 people across the US, India, Singapore and the UK). Along the way: IISc and IIM Bangalore, an MBA from Andhra University, and a doctoral research programme at SSBM Geneva on how enterprises actually scale AI.
“Whatever works is not the same as whatever is right. It is right's better-dressed impostor.”

Why I'm Building LawVyn.ai
Three years of case history. Ask anyone what happened in March. Diaries, WhatsApp scrolls, old emails, someone's memory. No answer, just searching. That's the problem I've decided to spend the next decade on.

Broad > Deep: Why T-Shaped Teams Win in the AI Era
For twenty years the safe career was going deep. In an AI-native team, depth is table stakes and breadth is the differentiator, because breadth builds context, and context drives better decisions.

Sales & Marketing · 03 Sept 2026
Sales Make Money. Trust Makes a Brand.
If your customer buys once, it's a sale. If they come back, you built trust. If they tell others, you built a brand. Most founders optimise the first line and wonder why the third never happens.
