Yamit B Mehta

Leading a 35-member team of product managers and data scientists for Solar IoT gateway, homeowner facing app, installer app and solar design & permitting web platform. SaaS Business Model Innovation: Architected the "Energy Market Steering" platform (SaaS). Leveraged real-time exchange data and AI-driven arbitrage algorithms to automate energy trading, reducing customer ROI payback periods by 30% (8.6 to 6.0 years). Global Market Expansion: Captured 32% market share in the competitive DACH region (growing from 0% to market leader in 30 months). Achieved this by driving localized compliance logic into the software stack to meet complex EU energy regulations, unlocking a $1B Total Addressable Market (TAM) and creating a regulatory moat. Margin Management: Delivered a Gross Margin improvement (22% → 34%) by optimizing the software-hardware revenue mix and introducing high-margin digital services. Operational Savings: Slashed support overhead by $1.4M annually and reduced partner onboarding time by 50% through AI-driven automated installation guidance. New Platform: Conceptualized and launched the "Next-Gen Gateway," an Edge Computing orchestration layer integrating Solar, Storage and EV ecosystems. Enabled software-defined intelligence over commodity hardware, ensuring active Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation and interoperability with Distributed Energy Management System (DERMS) standards to reduce payback period for end customers. Launched "AI Optimization Mode" to automate battery charging/discharging based on Time-of-Use (TOU) rates and energy consumption patterns at the home.

Global Platform Scaling: Built and scaled the "Services Marketplace" (connecting customers, technicians, and retailers) across 8 international markets (US, EU, JP). Drove a 15% GMV lift in the appliance category by reducing "digital-to-physical" friction via algorithmic matching and dynamic pricing. ML-Driven Monetization: Deployed Machine Learning recommendation engines to dynamically bundle value-added services (Warranty/Installation) with high-ticket appliances. Increased service attach rates by 8% and boosted Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) by 15% through personalized, data-driven cross-selling. Portfolio Strategy: Analyzed purchasing patterns to refine the global services portfolio, shifting revenue mix toward recurring subscription models and significantly improving Net Revenue Retention (NRR).

Directed the software product lifecycle for Snapdragon IoT and Wearable platforms, powering iconic launches (Google Nexus 5/6/7, Nest Cam IQ, Samsung Galaxy Note, LG G Watch, Samsung Gear Live). Platform Lifecycle: Orchestrated 14 Android OS major version upgrades across a fragmented ecosystem of 15+ chipsets for 25+ global OEMs (Samsung, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi etc.), extending the revenue lifecycle of legacy platforms. Strategic Partnerships: Secured critical design wins by aligning chipset software capabilities with the roadmap needs of partners on Snapdragon Wear platform, cementing Qualcomm’s dominance in the Android ecosystem.
