    Turn AI into production-ready products.

    AI products need more than models. They need the right workflows, APIs, integrations, payment infrastructure and operational controls to deliver real business value.

    Complex products rarely fail because the idea is bad.

    Startups often have strong technology, strong engineering teams, or strong market insight — but lack the product leadership needed to connect everything.

    01Product strategy is unclear
    02Engineering is busy but priorities keep changing
    03AI prototypes never become reliable products
    04APIs and integrations become difficult to scale
    05Payments create operational complexity
    06Customer requirements conflict with the roadmap
    07Product discovery happens too late
    08Teams build before validating the problem
    09Founders become the bottleneck for product decisions

    Prodaptix connects product strategy, technology and execution.

    A senior product team, when you need one.

    Before you scale the product, make sure it is ready to scale.

    01

    Product

    • Is the problem clearly defined?
    • Is the product solving a real customer need?
    • Is the roadmap focused?
    02

    Technology

    • Is the architecture ready?
    • Are integrations scalable?
    • Are APIs structured correctly?
    03

    AI

    • Are AI outputs reliable?
    • Is evaluation defined?
    • Are costs and latency understood?
    04

    Operations

    • Can the product be supported?
    • Are workflows documented?
    • Are failure states understood?
    05

    Commercial

    • Can the product actually be launched?
    • Is onboarding clear?
    • Are pricing and packaging viable?

    Flexible by design. Senior by default.

    Product Sprint

    For companies that need clarity quickly.

    Typical outcomes

    Product diagnosis, product strategy, prioritised roadmap, architecture recommendations, execution plan.

    Fractional Product Leadership

    For startups that need experienced product leadership without a full-time hire.

    Typical support

    Product strategy, roadmap, discovery, engineering alignment, customer requirements, delivery, founder/leadership support.

    Embedded Product & Technology Team

    For complex initiatives requiring deeper involvement.

    Examples

    AI platform, payment platform, API ecosystem, enterprise SaaS, new product launch, market expansion, platform transformation.

    Engagements start from $500. Every engagement is scoped after a discovery call.

    Think clearly. Build deliberately. Learn quickly.

    The process adapts to the situation. It is a way of thinking, not a rigid consulting methodology.

    01

    Understand

    Customers, business model, technology, constraints and existing product.

    02

    Diagnose

    Identify product, technical, operational and commercial bottlenecks.

    03

    Define

    Clarify the product, architecture, roadmap and success metrics.

    04

    Build & Launch

    Work directly with product, engineering and stakeholders.

    05

    Measure & Improve

    Use real customer and product data to improve the system.

    AI in production is a platform problem.

    Payments, APIs and merchant platforms demand reliability, compliance and scale. That is the standard we bring to AI products.

    Janahan Thavendran
    Founder & Product Technology Lead

    Janahan brings 12+ years across software engineering, product management, and technical product leadership, working across payments, platforms, APIs, mobile products, AI-enabled systems, and enterprise technology.

    He has led payment and platform products from 0 to $1B+ GMV, managed 10+ direct reports across 10+ markets, and shipped production AI systems. He brings the rare combination of engineering depth, product strategy, and commercial execution.

    His experience spans hands-on engineering through senior product leadership, giving Prodaptix a practical perspective across the entire product lifecycle — from problem definition and architecture through delivery, launch and scale.

    Built for teams at the point where complexity starts to compound.

    Early-stage startups

    You have the idea, technology or early traction — but need experienced product leadership.

    Scaling startups

    Your product is growing faster than your processes, platform or integrations.

    Established technology teams

    You need specialist product leadership for a complex initiative without creating a permanent team.

    Typical stakeholders: Founder / CEO · CTO · CPO · VP Product · Head of Engineering · Product Director
