AI Narada
AI-native · Human-aware · Duluth, Georgia

Built by operators. Powered by AI.

AI Narada builds AI-native software for consumer durables brands. Every product started as a problem we lived through in 25+ years of running plants, product lines and P&Ls. Each one removes non-value-added work so your people can grow the business.

Leadership"Are we ready to launch?"
The people who still run on spreadsheets, email and Slack/Teams chat
"If you work in the business, you can't work on the business."

Leaders used to say that to their top team. Today it applies to everyone. A product manager who spends Tuesday re-keying carton dimensions into five systems is not studying the market. A customer service rep searching three PDFs for a bulb type is not helping the next caller.

AI Narada's purpose is to build AI-native, human-aware solutions that automate non-value-added tasks so people can focus on growing the business. Our agents suggest and people decide. Every action is logged, and nothing is approved without a person.

How we work with you

We start as consultants and stay as partners.

01

Find the pain

We sit with your teams and pick the most pressing, most complex problem where AI pays off.

02

Measure it

On your own data. A free launch-speed assessment shows where one recent launch slowed down.

03

Build or tailor

Start from one of our platforms, or build a custom AI-native one. Either way, you control it.

04

Share the gains

For industry-wide problems, customers join as partners and share the pains and the gains.

Why AI Narada

Domain depth and AI depth, in one team.

It is hard to find a partner who knows every function of a consumer durables company and can also design custom AI-native software. We built AI Narada to be both.

Our story

Twenty-five years of the same problems. Then the tools caught up.

AI Narada began during a Master's in Analytics at Georgia Tech, with a focus on machine learning and AI. The question was simple: which real-world problems from a career in corporate America could AI finally solve?

Founder Raj Joshi has done nearly every job that touches a consumer durables manufacturer. He started as a manufacturing engineer, became a project manager and then a plant manager. He moved to the corporate office to run product line management, with responsibility for ROI, market share and profitability, and with engineering reporting to him.

He then spent time in aerospace as program launch manager at NMG Aerospace, went on to lead strategic business units at AGCO and Kubota, directed strategic marketing and planning at TYM, led the zero turn mower launch for STIHL as a consultant, and for the last two years has been a consultant to lighting and home furnishings brands.

Across every one of those roles, two problems kept coming back.

Problem one

Sales, inventory and operations planning

As general manager of a plant in Brownsville, Tennessee, and as an SBU leader at AGCO and Kubota with thousands of products, SIOP was a constant fight between forecasts, inventory and capacity.

Problem two

New product launch

In consumer durables, in aerospace, and again in lighting and furniture: spreadsheets and emails bouncing between teams, vendors and customers, with nobody sure if the launch was ready.

Time to market is a competitive advantage nobody builds tools for.

Companies have systems for engineering, finance, sales and finished content. The teams that actually launch the product (development, product management, marketing, purchasing, brand and training) still run on spreadsheets, email threads, Slack/Teams chats and shared folders. So we built AccelerateNPI to fill that gap.

While building it, we kept running into smaller problems that AI could solve almost immediately. Each became a product.

Why "Narada"? In Indian tradition, Narada is the sage who travels between worlds carrying messages. Our software does the same work between your teams, your vendors and your systems.

Custom AI-native platforms · with ISOMETRIK.ai

Software that fits the way you work.

Most small and mid-size B2B and e-commerce companies know the pattern. Canned SaaS is priced well, but it covers part of the job. Teams use what they can and do the rest in spreadsheets, documents and email. We build AI-native platforms around your process instead, in record time, and you keep total control of your software.

Our engineering partnership

AI Narada × ISOMETRIK.ai

As we put each product module inside AccelerateNPI, we needed deeper backend capacity to build AI-native platforms at speed. We found it in the Appscrip team. They have been in business for more than 15 years and have deployed hundreds of apps. Over the last two years they retooled the company and launched ISOMETRIK.ai, which now sells AI solutions across many industries.

We took a stake in their company, and they took a stake in ours. That shared ownership means our customers get consumer durables expertise across every function and an engineering team that has shipped at scale, working as one.

AI Narada brings
25+ years across engineering, plants, product lines, P&L, sourcing and launch, plus ML and AI from Georgia Tech
ISOMETRIK brings
