About Karthick Maharajan

We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here?” - Steve Jobs.That’s where it all started, and that’s my pursuit.9+ years shipping SaaS products from 0→1. I solve complex enterprise problems - from building products that scaled 500% to shipping AI features that moved retention metrics by 29%.• Owning 0→1 product launches • Revamping platform-wide enterprise experiences• Driving 500%+ growth in active accounts • Hands-on AI prototyping - LLMs, RAG, vector searchAlong the way, I’ve led cross-functional teams, shaped GTM plays, and partnered with leadership on long-term product bets.I gravitate toward foundational problems - especially the messy, ambiguous ones. Building Kissflow Boards from scratch and scaling it into one of our leading workflow products was one such journey. Most recently, I’ve been focused on building a flagship AI-native application generation platform 🤖, where users can create applications from natural language. It’s Kissflow’s boldest bet yet - deeply integrated with LLMs and reimagining how businesses build software.Beyond titles and roadmaps, I think like a founder. I care about PMF, user empathy, and the levers that drive real growth. I mentor early-stage PMs, love jamming on startup ideas, and think just as much about systems and people as I do about features.Always open to meaningful conversations about product, AI, startups, or anything that moves the needle.
