The AI Beast That Hunts McKinsey
Operand (YC W25) wants to put an end to McKinsey
Somewhere deep in the bowels of Silicon Valley, three men sat in a dimly lit room, staring into the abyss of overpriced PowerPoint decks and corporate excess.

They had seen enough.
The soulless consultants with their million-dollar retainers, the factory-farmed MBAs feeding their clients the same regurgitated strategies in a slightly different font.
And so they built Operand—an AI war machine programmed to eviscerate McKinsey & Co. and every bloated, self-important consultant still clinging to the wreckage of late-stage capitalism.
The first shot? Pricing and discount strategy.
Operand scans every scrap of business data—no matter where it’s hiding—then unleashes the optimal price points and precision discounts with the cold efficiency of a Vegas blackjack dealer who knows exactly when the table is rigged.
Early clients are already seeing six-figure P&L swings, not from vague “synergies” or jargon-laced slide decks, but from hard numbers and tactical execution.
But this is just the opening salvo. Operand is rolling out ad spend management and customer engagement, the kind of high-stakes territory where traditional consulting firms love to lurk, whispering sweet nothings into the ears of Fortune 500 executives while draining the corporate coffers like bloated, overfed ticks.
Operand doesn’t just analyze data—it understands a brand’s entire ecosystem, integrating across platforms to deliver real-time insights and revenue-driving actions.
Akhil Iyengar
Akhil is a relentless problem-solver with a deep background in AI and machine learning. Before launching Operand, he worked on high-impact data-driven projects at leading tech companies, refining his expertise in predictive analytics and pricing optimization. With a keen eye for business inefficiencies, he’s determined to replace bloated consultancy models with actionable AI insights.
Ram Gorthi
Ram is a strategist and execution powerhouse, bringing years of experience in enterprise operations and analytics. His background in scaling businesses using AI-powered automation has been instrumental in Operand’s ability to deliver measurable impact for clients. Ram is obsessed with helping companies optimize revenue streams without unnecessary overhead.
Arjun Sahney
Arjun is the financial mastermind behind Operand, with a strong foundation in investment banking and corporate strategy. Having witnessed firsthand how traditional consultants fail to provide ROI-driven insights, he co-founded Operand to bring data-backed precision to pricing and business decision-making. His mission: to make businesses more profitable, faster, using AI-driven intelligence.
Instead of waiting weeks for a report, businesses can ask Operand a question and get a rigorous, expert-verified answer—fast.
No more gut decisions. No more overpriced slide decks.
Every recommendation from Operand is audited by human experts—including ex-MBB consultants—because even in this war against human inefficiency, the machine still needs a few seasoned assassins to pull the trigger.
Operand is already generating six-figure P&L improvements for early customers.
