Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–October 17, 2025)–Hardik Jagda, engineer-turned-entrepreneur, speaker, and angel investor, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to examine how disciplined engineering, rapid experimentation, and ruthless ROI shaped Proximity Works’ evolution from a small consultancy into a multi-country technology operator. The episode reviewed his early constraints coding on a shoestring budget, the “Rapid AI Experimentation Framework” his teams used to convert workflow ideas into revenue pilots in weeks, and how speed and focus guided product bets across media, live sports, fintech, and enterprise AI.
