SujalNegi

I don't start things to try them. I start them to finish them.

Engineer by training, builder by instinct, founder in the making. When I take on a problem I own all of it: the design, the team, the deadline and the result. Once I'm in, I stay in until it works. This deck is the record so far.

Portrait of Sujal Negi

Who's building this.

I'm a mechanical engineer who works across manufacturing, software and program management. I design vehicle hardware, ship live AI systems and lead a 19-member autonomous vehicle team.

On the hardware side that means chassis, steering and drive design for a ground vehicle, and mass and component placement for a drone. On the software side it means agentic marketplaces and real-time verification tools that people can open and use today.

What ties it together is how I run things: gate the spend behind proof, split the roles so no one person holds every key, and always keep a path to real users.

Limen

Agentic procurement marketplace for industrial tenders

LiveAug 2026 to presentWinner, IBM SkillsBuild South Region Finale
  • Built a multi-agent tender marketplace to compress a 2 to 3 month manual procurement cycle into days.
  • Evaluates suppliers on cost, specs and availability, with sealed bidding, escrow settlement and reputation scoring.
  • Enforces buyer ceilings and seller floors in a Solidity contract, so no agent can lift its own spending limit.
  • Splits raise, approve and pay across three role-gated desks, so no one account can both create and settle a request.
  • The LLM handles text only. Every figure comes from a deterministic engine, verified by 539 automated checks.

Solidity, Node.js, React, LLM integration

Enforced in Solidity, not in a prompt.

Khata

Real-time claim verification for live sales calls

LiveAug 2026
  • Built a co-pilot that checks claims made mid-call against a deterministic rules engine and returns a verdict in milliseconds.
  • The model stays advisory. The rules engine decides what is true, and 324 automated checks hold that boundary in place.

Next.js, TypeScript, SQLite, LLM integration

What Khata does on a callSample call
  1. Sales repWe can deliver the full order in 3 days.Waiting to check
  2. Sales repThis plan includes round-the-clock support.Waiting to check
  3. Sales repI can give you 25% off if you sign today.Waiting to check
The rules decide, the model only explains.

Navyam

Autonomous drone for industrial monitoring

In developmentDec 2025 to present
  • Lead an 8-member team across airframe, propulsion and payload, managing mass and component placement.
  • Gated hardware spend behind a 0.5 m docking milestone in Gazebo, then flew 20 m × 20 m GPS-denied surveys.

The survey pattern: a lawnmower sweep over the 20 m × 20 m zone, then back to the dock.

Navya

Autonomous ground vehicle, where I'm project lead

Field testing2025 to present
  • Lead a 19-member team across perception, controls, hardware and software, owning delivery end to end.
  • Lead chassis, steering and drive system design, and integrate LiDAR, camera and IMU for field testing.
  • Own sub-team interfaces and the risk register, and drive the roadmap and go-to-market plan toward a startup.

2026

Dolphin Tank India Founder Mentorship Program

Selected for ₹18 lakh worth of mentorship (IAC, Cloud Counselage).

2026

Second runner-up, KL University AI Build

Among 1,000+ student participants.

Certifications

Agile and Scrum, Google Analytics, MATLAB

Alison Agile and Scrum (84%), Google Analytics for Beginners (98.25%), MATLAB and Simscape Onramps.

Teams and events I've run.

Beyond the four projects, this is where I've owned budgets, people and delivery.

  1. Kia India Manufacturing Plant

    Industrial visit and study, Anantapur

    Observed automotive manufacturing, assembly-line workflows, production systems and mechanical integration on a working plant floor.

  2. Udbhav, Inter-IIIT Tech Meet

    Institute SPOC and coordinator, IIIT Sri City

    Sole point of contact for a meet across 23 institutes, and ran the campus hackathon for 350 students.

  3. DataWorks Club, AI/ML and Data Science

    Club lead, IIITDM Kurnool

    Run workshops and hackathons reaching 600+ students, owning the annual plan, budget, sponsors and core team.

How I operate.

Four habits I keep coming back to, whether the thing is a drone, a marketplace or a student club.

Spend only after the proof

On Navyam, hardware spend waited until the drone hit a 0.5 m docking milestone in simulation. Cheap proof first, expensive parts second.

Separate who asks from who pays

Limen splits raise, approve and pay across three role-gated desks, the same control a good purchasing team uses, built into software.

Let the model talk, let the rules decide

In Limen and Khata the AI writes the words and a deterministic engine owns the facts, backed by 863 automated checks across both.

Build toward a customer

Navya has a risk register and a go-to-market plan, not just a demo. Limen was pitched to IBM judges and placed in the top 4 of 25 finalists.
