Customer success · Enterprise solutions · Voice and conversational AI

I put AI agents into production inside large enterprises.

Banks, insurers, carmakers, manufacturers. I find the use case worth building, write the integration spec, build the demo, and stay until it runs at scale. Then I take the numbers to the C-suite.

About

Keerthi Karan at the ConvoZen AI Summit 2026

The model is usually the easy part.

What decides whether an AI agent survives in a bank or an insurer is everything around it. The dialler. The CRM write-back. The ninety ways a human agent closes a call. The compliance team that has to sign off. That's where I spend my time.

Right now I lead customer success and enterprise solutions at ConvoZen.ai, NoBroker's voice AI platform. I own a book of 20+ enterprise accounts across BFSI, insurance, auto, real estate and manufacturing, and lead a small team that takes them from POC to production.

I got here the long way. I opened a B2B business from zero at OYO, a year out of engineering school. Did my MBA at Schulich in Toronto. Ran two fulfilment centres for Amazon in British Columbia with 700+ people. Then went back to building, first at Gupshup and now at ConvoZen.

I'm hands-on. Python and SQL most days, and Claude Code is open on my laptop from morning to night. Most of the demos, specs and analyses on this page I built myself.

Where it's running

A selection from the last three years. Each card names the team the agent works for and the outcome I can share publicly.

Also: a bilingual English and Hindi sales agent for Niyo's premium travel card. Earlier, at Gupshup: voice AI and CPaaS across enterprise accounts and high-growth startups, taking the portfolio to $12M+ ARR.

Things I've built

I prototype before I propose.

Internal tools that my team and customers use every week. All built with agentic coding tools, mostly Claude Code.

Analyst agent over 68M calls

Ask a question in plain English, get the answer as a table. The agent knows the schema, writes the SQL, runs it against Metabase and formats the result. Its prompt carries the hard-won rules: which filters are mandatory, which timestamps are in epoch milliseconds, which fields lie.

MBR and proposal generator

A Slack bot. Ask it for a monthly business review, an SOW or a proposal for a client, and it pulls live usage from Metabase, has Claude write the narrative, and posts a finished PDF, Word or PowerPoint file back in the thread.

Delivery tracker

The system my team runs on. Every account from POC to onboarding to production, with subtasks, meeting notes, action items and a sales pipeline next to it.

An internal prediction market. Employees trade virtual coins on company outcomes (will this deal close this quarter?), and the price becomes a forecast leadership can read.
