About Arun Kumar Karunanidhi
Product leader with 13+ years building large-scale, user-facing platforms across AI, consumer internet, and e-commerce — from zero to millions of users.Currently leading AI/GenAI product strategy for a 30+ member org at Amazon, transforming consumer surfaces into intelligent, AI-native platforms using LLMs, agentic orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation. Defined multi-year product vision across 3 VP-level orgs, translating ambiguous problem spaces into funded roadmaps.Previously: scaled an e-commerce logistics platform across pincodes serving 200K+ sellers in Tier 2/3/4 India. Built and launched application runtime platforms across India and Japan with OEM and developer partners. Owned multi-million-dollar P&L with 10X growth outcomes.What I do differently: I discover problems before building solutions. First-principles thinking, rapid experimentation (A/B tests, MVPs, prototypes), and relentless metric tracking — not feature shipping.Open to conversations about: AI-native products, platform strategy, building product orgs, and the future of consumer internet in India.
