About Raviroop Singh Kohli
Product and Program Management leader with 9+ years of experience building and scaling products and leading complex, mission-critical programs across Defence, Aerospace, AI/SaaS, and enterprise domains. Full-time MBA from IIM Bangalore (Merit Scholar).I specialise in end-to-end product lifecycle ownership: from market research, MRD/PRD authoring, and roadmap execution to GTM strategy, pricing, financial modelling, and customer adoption. I am equally comfortable defining product vision with founders and C-suite, collaborating with software and R&D engineering teams on cutting-edge feature delivery, and managing high-stakes government and enterprise stakeholder relationships.At ideaForge, a global top-3 UAV manufacturer, I own the product strategy and P&L for long-range and Combat UAV platforms. I led the company\'s zero-to-one entry into the Combat UAV segment. Secured ₹100 Cr+ in pre-launch orders, built a ₹2,500+ Cr MoD opportunity pipeline, and reduced time-to-market by 12 months through strategic partnerships with DRDO, Defence PSUs, and international OEMs. I have served as Product Owner for 4 active Indian Army Make II programs, driving AI-based target recognition, swarming, fire correction, and electronic warfare capabilities from requirements to delivery.As Co-Founder of Vanilla Intelligence, I led product development for an AI-powered legal intelligence platform — building a Supreme Court judgement summarisation engine, automated newsletter service, and chatbot interface — using Agile-like cadences, GitHub, Notion, and Figma with a cross-functional team of engineers and marketers.Earlier, as a Commissioned Officer in an elite Air Defence Missile Regiment, I led large-scale operations, program management, and digital transformation. Conceptualised and delivered a Power BI analytics platform and a 3D GIS mapping tool, managed programs impacting personnel, and commanded 85 personnel during an active border operations.I hold the Google Agile Project Management certification (2026) and bring hands-on experience with Agile frameworks, product backlog management, JTBD, and data-driven decision-making.Open to conversations on product strategy, lifecycle management, and building the next generation of impactful technology products.
