Founder with a QA & Product Leadership Background

I'm Rohann Niggam. My first QA job meant writing test cases by hand in Excel. Over 14+ years I've moved from QA foundations through product leadership to founder—today leading QuickVikalp Technologies Private Limited (quality-first software delivery) and Aarohii AI Solution Private Limited (AI for new and existing products). I've designed test automation for high-scale regulated platforms and led product strategy for teams that raised Series A and B. I built my companies to prove quality-first engineering isn't slower—it's the only sustainable way to ship fast. When I consult with your team, you get someone who's already made the expensive mistakes, fixed them, and knows which shortcuts will cost you.

What I've Delivered in 14+ Years

  • Scaled platforms from 10,000 to 100,000+ concurrent users
  • Achieved 99.9% uptime for mission-critical regulated platforms
  • Built test automation frameworks that cut release cycles by 40%
  • Led product strategies that helped companies move upmarket and raise institutional capital
  • Mentored 20+ engineers in quality architecture and product thinking
  • Founded QuickVikalp (2023) and Aarohii AI Solution Private Limited (2026)—both actively serving clients today

What This Means for You

I've made the expensive mistakes already

14+ years of hands-on work—not advice from the sidelines. I've built the systems, watched them fail under load, rebuilt them right, and know which shortcuts will cost you six months of firefighting.

The numbers are documented, not estimated

99.9% uptime. 40% faster release cycles. Platforms scaled to 100K+ users. I document outcomes because vague claims are how consultants hide weak work.

3–4 clients at a time, maximum

I'm booking Q3 2026 now—two slots open. If we're a fit, you get my full strategic attention, not a junior consultant on your account while the partner juggles twenty others.

You get my cell, not a junior's calendar

I'm a founder, not a freelancer. I bring the same ownership mindset to client work that I bring to my own companies—the outcome matters to me personally, and I stay reachable.

How My Expertise Evolved

This wasn't a planned career arc. I didn't set out to become a product strategist or a founder—clients kept pulling me there when they needed someone who understood both code and commerce. The unfiltered version:

The Foundation: Mastering Quality Engineering

I started where most QA engineers do—finding bugs. I quickly saw that wasn't enough. I went deep on automation and built frameworks that prevent defects before they ship. That's where I learned quality isn't a phase—it's a mindset.

Hard lesson, early on: I spent 18 months on a UI regression suite that took six hours to run and caught zero production bugs. The real failures were API contract changes nobody was testing. That expensive mistake shaped everything since—I audit the testing strategy before writing a single script.

The Evolution: From Code to Systems

Architecting quality for SaaS and regulated platforms at 100K+ users taught me something crucial: technical excellence without business context is just expensive code. I learned to think in systems—how quality decisions affect revenue, customer trust, and competitive advantage.

What kept happening: Teams moving fast and breaking things—not on purpose, by accident. I reframed quality in revenue terms: 99.9% uptime isn't a technical goal, it's a commercial commitment. When I stopped saying "we need better tests" and started saying "every outage costs ₹18L in support overhead," leadership funded it.

The Shift: Product Thinking Meets Quality

Product management wasn't abandoning quality—it was expanding it. I brought quality thinking to every product call: which features actually matter, which debt to tackle first, how to balance speed and sustainability. That lens became my edge.

The call I'm most proud of: I recommended killing a feature 38% of users had requested. Usage data showed it would pull capacity from the 15% of power users driving 70% of ARR. The CEO hated it for a month. Two quarters later, those power users expanded into enterprise contracts. Quality thinking on product decisions is underrated.

Today: Founder, Advisor, Builder

I run QuickVikalp Technologies Private Limited and Aarohii AI Solution Private Limited—both active, both serving real clients, both hitting real engineering problems today. When I advise on scaling or QA strategy, I'm applying lessons from companies I'm building now, not a decade-old case study.

Experience & Impact: What I've Delivered in 14+ Years

Across 14+ years as a QA architect and technical product leader, I've delivered measurable results in SaaS, healthcare, regulated platforms, and enterprise. Below are anonymized highlights from past roles—summarized for context, not live products I can demo or put in a public portfolio.

Regulated FinTech · Confidential QA Architect 2018–2020

Experience Highlight: Scaling a Regulated Platform from 10K to 100K+ Users

Client and product names withheld under NDA. This is how I approached the work—not a shipped product you can browse today.

The Situation

A fast-growing regulated financial platform needed to scale while staying compliant (PCI-DSS, SOC 2). Manual testing couldn't keep pace with releases, and performance was degrading as concurrency climbed.

Specific Problems:

  • Manual regression testing taking 2+ weeks per release
  • Application performance degrading with >5K concurrent users
  • No automated testing or CI/CD pipeline
  • Compliance certifications at risk due to quality gaps
  • Engineering team spending 40% of time firefighting production issues

What I Led

As QA architect over 18 months, I owned the quality strategy so the platform could scale reliably:

  • Designed comprehensive test automation strategy and framework architecture
  • Built test automation framework using Selenium WebDriver + Python
  • Implemented API testing suite with REST Assured (300+ tests)
  • Architected CI/CD pipeline with automated quality gates (Jenkins)
  • Designed and executed performance testing validating 100K+ concurrent users
  • Established quality metrics and reporting dashboards
  • Led SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance testing initiatives
  • Mentored team of 8 QA engineers on automation best practices

  • Funding: Quality improvements were highlighted in Series B pitch (raised $25M)
Key Lessons I Applied:
  • Quality architecture must be designed before scaling issues emerge
  • Automation frameworks need to be maintainable, not just comprehensive
  • Performance testing should validate real user behavior patterns, not just load
  • Compliance can be automated—it shouldn't slow down development

B2B SaaS Technical Product Manager 2021-2023

Leading Product Strategy for Collaboration Platform

The Challenge

A B2B collaboration platform serving 10K SMB users wanted to move upmarket to enterprise customers (50K+ employees). However, the product lacked key enterprise features and the architecture couldn't support the scale.

Specific Problems:

  • Lost 3 six-figure enterprise deals due to missing features (SSO, RBAC, audit logs)
  • No clear product strategy or prioritization framework
  • Engineering team overwhelmed—60% of time on bug fixes vs new features
  • Product roadmap was reactive ("build whatever customers ask for")
  • Unclear which features would actually unlock enterprise market

My Role as Technical Product Manager

I was hired to develop product strategy and roadmap to enable enterprise market entry. Over 24 months, I:

  • Conducted 30+ customer interviews (current SMB customers, enterprise prospects, churned users)
  • Performed competitive analysis identifying whitespace opportunities
  • Developed feature prioritization framework using weighted RICE scoring
  • Created 18-month product roadmap with clear enterprise milestones
  • Worked with engineering to architect enterprise features (SSO, RBAC, audit logging)
  • Balanced technical debt reduction with new feature development
  • Defined product-market fit metrics and success criteria
  • Led go-to-market planning for enterprise product launch

Results Achieved

5 Enterprise Customers

Signed within 8 months of roadmap execution

3x ACV Increase

Average contract value grew from $15K to $45K

70% Win Rate

For enterprise deals (up from 10%)

SOC 2 Compliance

Achieved to unlock enterprise buyers

40% Dev Time Reallocated

From bug fixes to strategic features

$10M Series B Raised

Product roadmap was key pitch component

Business Impact:
  • Revenue: ARR grew from $3M to $12M in 18 months
  • Market Position: Successfully repositioned as enterprise-ready platform
  • Team Alignment: Clear roadmap ended constant priority debates
  • Customer Satisfaction: NPS improved from 32 to 58
Key Lessons I Applied:
  • Product strategy must balance what customers ask for with what they actually need
  • Enterprise features aren't bigger SMB features—they're a different category
  • Technical debt must be addressed strategically, not ignored
  • Roadmaps should tell a story that sales and marketing can use

*NDA applies. ARR and win-rate figures came from investor materials I helped build—I pulled them from the analytics dashboard and formatted them for the Series B deck.*

Head of Product SaaS Collaboration Tool · NCR, India
Outcome: First enterprise contract signed within 8 months
Honest Qualifier

This Is Probably Not for You If…

Better to say it upfront than waste a discovery call that shouldn't happen.

You're looking for the cheapest option

My rates reflect 14 years of hard-won expertise and a deliberately small client load. If budget is the primary filter, I'm not your consultant.

You want someone to validate what you've already decided

I give you my honest read. If your architecture has a structural problem, I'll say so — even if that's not what the room wants to hear.

You need someone who can start in 48 hours

I'm booking Q3 2026 with limited capacity. Good work needs lead time. If you need someone to start tomorrow, I can point you to trusted partners.

You're a pre-product, pre-revenue early stage startup

My expertise pays off most when there's a real system, real users, and real technical debt to reason about. Too early-stage and the ROI math doesn't work for you.

If none of these apply to you — and you have a genuine scaling or quality challenge — let's talk.
