About Ankur Sabharwal

Most consultants understand the business side or the tech side. Rarely both.The hardest part of any tech project isn\'t the technology. It\'s making sure the right thing gets built in the first place. That\'s been my focus for 10+ years across gaming, web, mobile, and ERP delivery.Most consultants sit on one side of the table, business or tech. I\'ve spent a decade learning to sit on both. It\'s the thing clients mention most when they refer me, and the reason complex, stuck, or high-stakes projects tend to find their way to me.My journey started in game development, coordinating Unity developers, Maya designers, 2D artists, and animators, where I learned that delivering creative, technical projects on time is equal parts structure, communication, and calm under pressure.From there, I moved into project and delivery management across gaming, on-demand platforms, Shopify, custom web and mobile applications, and ERP systems (Odoo). Every engagement reinforced the same truth: understanding what the business actually needs and closing the gap between that and what gets built, is the real work.That\'s where I focus.→ Translating business problems into technical decisions→ Bringing structure and clarity to projects that have lost direction→ Managing delivery end to end from scoping to shippingAnd now, I\'m integrating AI into how I work and what I deliver.I use AI across the full consulting workflow not as a gimmick, but as a practical layer that makes every engagement faster and sharper:· Researching and synthesising client context quickly with Perplexity AI and Claude· Prototyping ideas and MVPs before a single line of code is written, using Bolt.new, v0, and Lovable· Turning rough briefs into polished client decks in minutes with Gamma and Canva AI· Capturing meeting intelligence and action points automatically with Otter.ai· Generating visual concepts and creative direction with Midjourney and ChatGPTThe result: faster decisions, cleaner briefs, and less time lost between idea and execution.Certifications: Scrum Foundation Professional (SFPC) · AWS Cloud Practitioner · Jira · AirtableIf you\'re a founder, product lead, or business owner navigating a tech decision, dealing with a stalled project, or exploring how AI fits into your roadmap — I\'d be glad to have that conversation.
