Who I am

Rohan Saraswat

My name is Rohan — a customer-centric, systems-oriented operator who has built teams, shipped platforms, designed AI products, and built early-stage ventures from scratch.

My life runs in 4-year leaps. Four years preparing for competitive exams. Four years at IIT Roorkee (GPA 8.4) building the engineering foundation. Four years at Jaguar Land Rover — as a seed member of India's Climate team, shipping the 2024 platform for 2L+ units across 100+ markets. Now at ISB, sharpening the business lens.

I bridge technology and business to build scalable solutions in ambiguity-heavy environments. That's what drives me — the messy, high-stakes problems where most operators pause.

Currently building ExperGo — an AI-led expertise platform linking retired professionals with emerging talent. National winner, Tata Imagination Challenge 2026 (Top 10 of 4 lakh+ teams).

"I seek the meaning of true freedom at individual and social levels. The hope to reach it keeps pushing me."

Let's build something

I'm actively exploring EIR, CEO's Office, Founder's Office and 0→1 PM roles. If you're building something ambitious and need an operator who bridges technology and business, I'd love to talk.
