About Saurabh Aditya

I build products at the intersection of AI and large-scale networking.Over the past decade, I’ve worked across the full stack of networking from carrier-grade routing systems and network operating systems to AI-native network management platforms serving global enterprises, across engineering and product management.I started as an engineer building high-availability infrastructure for some of the world’s largest service provider routers. I later transitioned into product leadership, where I now define strategy and execution for AI-driven networking with 360 degrees of experience across product strategy, outcome-based roadmapping, pricing/packaging, and launch. My experience spans- Carrier-grade NOS and routing platforms- SDN and controller-based architectures- Hybrid cloud networking- AI-driven network operations and intelligenceToday, I focus on building AI-native platforms that move network operations from alert-driven workflows to decision-driven systems.If you\'re building, investing in, or rethinking the future of network operations — I’m always open to thoughtful conversations.
