Simran Sidhu.
I build things people
actually use. Next up: my own.

Principal AI Architect by day. 0→1 product builder by night. Shipping is my love language. Currently Principal AI Architect at NewRocket — ex-ServiceNow, IIT Roorkee. Shipped 20+ side products while holding down principal-level jobs. Hunting the bet worth going all-in on.

I don't wait for permission. I ship, then talk.

I don't wait for permission. While holding down principal-level jobs, I've quietly shipped 20+ products on the side — AI agents, browser automation, LinkedIn growth tools, ML research. Now I'm hunting for the right bet to go all-in on. Looking for a co-founder, an idea worth chasing, or an early team that moves at 10× speed.

The system I hacked hardest — my own circumstances.

I went to Meet Booking.com, team told us to find a solution for their heavy MTTR incidents (this is 6 months back when i joind Newrocket), we had a solution on excel sheets which clusters similar incidents using Machine learning and creates knowledge to resolve future incidents faster, my quick thinking connected this solution to their preblem and we sold it for $2M a year deal.

02 — CURRENTLY BUILDING

On the side, every night.

The stuff I'm actively cooking, alongside the day job. Some are products, some are bets, all are shipped or shipping.

BUILDER MANIFESTO

How I actually build.

01

Ship. Then talk.

Anyone can draft a deck. I'd rather push a working prototype at 2am and let it speak for itself.

02

Side projects are the real resume.

Every job on my CV exists because something I built on a weekend made someone say 'hire her'.

03

10× beats 10%.

Cut inference from 60s to 0.1s. Turned an excel prototype into a $2M enterprise deal in one meeting. Small bets are boring.

04

Hard things, soft edges.

Build the hardest problem in the market. Wrap it in the simplest UX you can justify. That's where leverage lives.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

If any of this is you — let's talk.

01

A co-founder

Ideally product or distribution-leaning, someone who's been in the trenches and knows how to sell. Complementary, not identical.

02

A problem worth 10 years

AI agents, developer tooling, vertical SaaS in underserved markets. Bonus points for boring industries with big budgets.

03

Pre-seed / angel capital

Open to intros to funds and angels who back technical solo founders. Willing to bootstrap to first revenue.

04

Early team co-founder

If you're 5 people or less, post-idea, pre-chaos — I'll join as CTO / co-founder. Equity > title.

03 — DAY JOBS

The paid training ground.

From fintech SaaS platforms to AI agents powering enterprise workflows — every role taught me to ship faster with less.
