ABOUT MANNAN SAHNI

I build AI automation systems that give SMBs their time back.15-20 hours every week. That\'s what most small business owners waste on manual work that could run automatically.Lead follow-ups. Data entry. WhatsApp responses. CRM updates. Invoice generation.Boring, repetitive tasks that don\'t grow the business—but eat up entire days.I fix that-The Journey Here:Started at EY working on the Saral App—a government education platform serving teachers and students across Assam. Built the complete authentication system from scratch using React Native, Node.js, and MongoDB. Shipped code to production that\'s still running today.That experience taught me how to build systems that scale. Government-level reliability. Thousands of concurrent users. Zero room for failure.After EY, spent time in security testing at Chetu—found 40+ vulnerabilities, built automated QA workflows. Learned how systems break and how to prevent it.But every project showed me the same pattern: businesses had decent tech, but operations were chaos. Manual processes everywhere. Nothing talking to each other. People becoming the glue between broken workflows.So in August 2025, I started Thinking Minds-What We Build:AI-powered automation for Indian SMBs.
