I turn business challenges into AI-driven opportunities
I am Syed Akbar Abbas Jafri, an MBA graduate from XIMB with expertise in Product Management, Project Management, AI Consultancy, Scrum practices and Full Stack Software Development. Through my experience at IRIS Business Services, Cognizant, my own startup, and multiple internships, I have honed my skills in driving AI-led solutions, managing cross-functional projects, and building scalable digital products. My diverse background and continuous learning mindset enable me to bridge the gap between technology and business, solve complex problems, and deliver impactful, market-ready solutions.
However, let's take a moment to catch up on my casual side!
About Me
Hello! I'm Akbar Abbas, passionate about building technology-driven solutions that bridge the gap between business outcomes and AI infrastructure. My journey with technology began in 2012, tinkering with custom websites and hand-coding HTML/CSS. Since then, I've evolved into a strategist who shapes AI-powered platforms that unlock real, measurable value for businesses.
Over the years, I've contributed to organizations across Fintech, IT services, innovation consulting, advertising, and campus talent management. My expertise spans AI Consultancy, Product & Project Management, where I define product visions, lead cross-functional teams, and architect scalable AI systems—not just workflows—that deliver outcomes like revenue growth, lead generation, and operational efficiency.
Currently, my focus is on helping businesses adopt comprehensive AI infrastructure solutions, such as customized lead-generation platforms and automation systems with user-centric dashboards, driving tangible ROI rather than isolated automation tools. I believe the future lies in full-stack, client-facing AI applications that create value and competitive advantage for enterprises.
Here are a few skills I've garnered recently:
- Product Management (SaaS, AI & Machine Learning)
- AI Consultancy & Solutioning
- Project Management (Agile & Waterfall)
- Business Strategy & Digital Transformation
- Market Research & Customer Insights
- Full Stack Web Development
