About Nizam Ahmed

At Microsoft, I leverage the unique opportunity to deliver value at scale, impacting millions of users worldwide. With a passion for crafting user experiences that resonate with user motivations and habits, I have had the privilege of contributing to several high-impact projects from 0 to 1.My journey began with the Office team, where I played a key role in bringing Office to Windows Phone, iPhones, and Android for the first time. My primary focus areas included the Word app, Inking, and the cross-device, cross-platform Shared UX like the Ribbon, which many users interact with daily.After my time with the Office team, I transitioned to Kaizala, where I played a key role in the development of the Actions Platform, Commanding, and Chat features. These features empowered users to streamline their workflows and enhance communication. This was followed by a stint with the Edge Browser team, focusing on the EDU charter.Driven by my interest in leveraging Microsoft\'s capabilities to drive growth in India, I was involved in three successive incubations. I spearheaded a stealth pilot between Microsoft and ONDC in the eCommerce space, followed by the Relay app - an incubation in the Community space, and Project Unnati, which aimed to democratize AI and drive growth for users in Emerging Markets.Currently starting a stint with Copilot (that incidentally helped me draw up this description).
