From 18 Years in Enterprise Software to Building AI-Powered SaaS Products

Hi Product Hunt community! 👋

I'm Ashis Roy, a Product & Software Consultant from India.

After spending 18+ years in enterprise software, product management, and digital transformation, I made one of the biggest decisions of my career—I stepped away from a full-time role to build products that solve real operational problems.

Over the past several months, my small team and I have built five production-ready SaaS platforms:

• 🛒 Marketplace Operations
• 🤖 CartPilot AI
• 💰 Adrit Ledger
• 🍽️ Food & Beverage Operations
• 🏥 PathLab

Our goal isn't to build "another SaaS."

We're building products that reduce manual work, automate repetitive processes, and help businesses operate more efficiently using AI and cloud technologies.

Like many founders, the hardest challenge hasn't been building the products—it has been finding the first customers and building trust.

That's why I've joined Product Hunt. I'm here to learn from founders, share my journey, and improve our products based on real feedback.

I'd love to hear from this community:

• How did you acquire your first paying customer?

• What marketing channel worked best for your SaaS?

• If you could give one piece of advice to a first-time founder, what would it be?

Looking forward to learning from everyone here and contributing to the community.

Thanks!
