Nirmal Nambiar, the Founder and CEO of Oqlous AI (formerly known as inQbator), is pioneering the development of the world’s first AI Product Manager.
Despite being just 21 years old, Nirmal is a remarkable talent from Kerala and an alumnus of BITS Pilani. His vision is to empower product managers and team leaders with a cutting-edge AI solution that streamlines workflows, automates repetitive tasks, and boosts productivity.
