Rohan Balkondekar

Founder of Vibegrow · AI Lead at Xsolla

I build AI products and grow them in public.

About

I’m an AI engineer from Pune, now AI Lead at Xsolla between Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles. Over the past three years I’ve shipped generative-AI systems end to end: customer-support automation covering 92,000+ monthly questions, agent SDKs, fine-tuning pipelines, and a company-wide AI assistant.

I founded OutSight AI, an AI growth platform for small businesses, and exited it to Xsolla in an acqui-hire; I continue its product line as Vibegrow. Along the way I’ve worked with teams at Tesla, Microsoft, Tata Neu, Reliance, MIT, RWTH Aachen, UC San Diego, and YC-backed startups.

Vibegrow runs Instagram growth through an agent: audits, reels, outreach, and you approve what ships. I use it on my own accounts first, this one included: I grow this audience with the product I’m building.
