Automotive SME and Product Strategist
Automotive SME and Solutions Consultant, Happiest Minds Technologies
I work at the intersection of automotive engineering and digital product strategy. My background spans EV systems design, connected vehicle platforms, software-defined vehicles and predictive analytics. I think in systems, build production grade prototypes using domain first prompting with Claude Code, and translate deep industry knowledge into platforms that OEMs and mobility providers can actually ship.
Selected Work
Each project here was conceived from within the domain first. The architecture, data models and system logic were all defined before any code was written, drawing directly from automotive engineering and product strategy experience.
AutoPredict is a full stack predictive maintenance platform built for connected vehicle fleets. It ingests real time telemetry from vehicle TBox units across 23 data channels, processes it through six specialised machine learning models and surfaces actionable service alerts through a dealer facing React portal. The platform covers the complete loop from raw sensor data all the way through to service appointment booking.
This was not a wireframe or a concept document. The entire platform was built to production grade specifications using Claude Code and VS Code, with every component defined through detailed domain specific prompts authored from deep automotive engineering knowledge. The prompt documents covering both V1 and V2 of the platform run to over 200 pages of precise technical specification.
Domain architect and prompt engineer. Designed the entire system architecture, defined all physical signal encoding rules for 23 telemetry channels, wrote the feature engineering specifications for all six machine learning models, authored the synthetic data generation rules with physically consistent constraints, and built the AI service agent workflow from scratch using LangChain.
A 10 stage LangChain powered workflow agent that moves an alert from detection through customer notification, appointment booking, parts pre ordering, workshop receipt, live progress updates, cost approval, delivery notification and post service follow up. Each stage has defined entry actions, SLA based timeout escalation and conditional transitions. Communication is handled through push notifications via FCM, SMS via Twilio and email via SendGrid.
CCPA is a reusable implementation framework for Digital Product Passport compliance. It is not a SaaS subscription or a licensed product. It is a pre-built accelerator covering data models, compliance engines, QR infrastructure and multi-tenant architecture, deployed and configured per client engagement. Every OEM that exports batteries or electric vehicles into the EU must comply with the Battery Passport regulation by February 2027. CCPA gets them there in 6 to 8 weeks instead of 18 months.
The framework covers three regulatory regimes simultaneously: EU Annex XIII and Annex X for the Battery Regulation, China MIIT GB/T 34014 for battery traceability upload, and India CPCB Extended Producer Responsibility. No competing platform handles all three in a single deployment.
Domain SME and solution architect. Designed the full framework architecture, defined the master data hierarchy from organisation level down to individual component, authored the tri-regional compliance logic, built the go to market strategy across six geographies and three customer tiers, and defined all service lines, engagement models and revenue structure for the implementation business.
The GTM is sequenced across six markets by compliance urgency. India is the beachhead with active pipeline accounts. The EU is entered through Indian system integrator partnerships including Infosys, Wipro and TCS who win OEM contracts but need a pre-built tri-regional framework to deliver. China enters in parallel because 35 percent of Chinese battery exports go to the EU and no domestic Chinese tool generates EU Annex XIII passports. Southeast Asia, the United States and the Middle East follow from 2027 onward as the regulatory wave extends to more product categories.
FinOS is a personal and household financial operating system built to handle the full complexity of Indian personal finance. Most financial apps address one slice: budgeting, or investments, or tax. FinOS covers all of it in a single platform where every module connects to every other. A salary entry flows into budget calculations, updates investment capacity, adjusts EMI headroom and feeds the financial health score automatically.
The platform was built using VS Code and Claude Code, with the same domain first approach applied here to fintech as across the other projects on this page.

Background
Abhishek has spent over a decade working at the intersection of automotive engineering and digital product strategy. His career began on the shop floor and in design studios, building a hands-on foundation in mechanical engineering, 3D modelling and EV product development. Early roles at BSN Industries and Seine Product Design gave him direct exposure to manufacturing, production planning and the realities of taking a concept from drawing to prototype, including leading the development of TIE-TRAN, a self-balancing electric bicycle concept designed for last mile urban connectivity.
The move to Xtracteco as Program Head was where his work in electric vehicles deepened into strategy and operations. He led the full product development cycle for an electric vehicle startup, from market research and competitor analysis through vendor negotiation, 3D concept development and pilot production. This was where the combination of engineering rigour and business thinking that defines his later work first came together.
Since 2023, Abhishek has been at Happiest Minds Technologies as Lead Business Analyst and Automotive Subject Matter Expert, working as the primary domain expert across connected mobility, software-defined vehicles, predictive maintenance and digital after-sales programs. He has translated over 170 live diagnostic parameters into machine learning business logic for OEM clients, led cross-functional workshops across engineering, ML, UX and QA teams, and authored an award-winning whitepaper on Circular Economy in the Automotive Industry. He holds a Master's degree in Automotive Systems Engineering from Loughborough University, United Kingdom.
In parallel with his consulting work, Abhishek has developed a practice of building production grade platforms from scratch using Claude Code and VS Code, applying deep domain knowledge as the foundation for every system design. The projects on this page are the result of that work, each one conceived from within the domain and built to a level of technical depth that goes well beyond a proof of concept.
