#17 - Nirman Dave: Redefining AI Decision-Making and Powering Fortune 200 Companies
Nirman Dave is the co-founder and CEO of Zams—an AI platform that’s transforming how businesses integrate AI into their workflows.
Nirman’s journey began in a small town in Gujarat, India, where he first discovered his love for coding. With no formal training, he taught himself through YouTube videos, and by 17, he had already built 200 apps with over a million downloads .
With a deep interest in behavioral economics, he found himself asking a bigger question—could AI predict irrational human behavior?
That question led him to create Zams, inspired by Zero Age Main Sequence—the moment a star is born—where AI goes beyond predictions to build agents that act, adapt, and transform businesses at scale.
Today, Zams works with Fortune 200 companies and enterprises generating hundreds of millions in revenue, helping them automate processes, optimize decisions, and fundamentally reshape how they operate.
We talked about risk-taking, breaking into enterprise AI, hiring at speed, and the exponential curve of AI adoption—plus, why Nirman thinks the biggest AI opportunities might just be in education and law.
