GDP Intelligence
GDP Intelligence · June 2026

Operators run the company. Agents run the work.

GDPi builds, partners with, and recovers AI-native businesses across consumer, construction, manufacturing, supply chain, and private credit. Four people, not a hundred. Real revenue, real margins, in public.

For Operators
Run your company with a hybrid human + agent team. GDPi comes in as operator and capital partner — fewer people, better margins, same growth.
For PE & Private Credit
Install our human + agent ops layer into distressed or underperforming portfolio companies. Recover margin without recovering headcount.
The Future of Business

The $5–100M company doesn't need 100 people. It needs 4–10 operators and the right AI infrastructure.

Operating

Autonomous reports, dashboards, and decisions. The company runs while you sleep.

Execution

Tool calls, traces, workflows. Agents do the work — not just suggest it.

Intelligence

Every action compounds into proprietary data. Every business sharpens the next.

How We Engage

A custom operating stack, built per business.

THE STACK · BUILT PER BUSINESS
L1
Custom Application

The surface the operator actually uses. Dashboards, workflows, and controls shaped to the business — not a generic SaaS skin.

L2
Custom Data Structures

P&L, customer, inventory, and ops data modeled around how this business actually runs. One source of truth the agents and humans both work from.

L3
Custom Agents

Agents trained on the business's own workflows — merchandising, finance, CX, reporting — executing the repeatable work underneath the operator team.

Forms of Engagement

Three ways we come in.

Pick the shape that fits the business. Each one puts the hybrid human + agent operating layer in the seat — the commercial model is what changes.

01
Build
Zero to One

We stand up a new business — or a new line inside an existing one — on the operating layer from day one. We co-build, take equity, and ship.

02
Partner
License Fee + Upside

We license the operating layer to an existing business and run it alongside the team. Fixed fee for the system, upside tied to the margin we unlock.

03
Operate
Portfolio Transformation · Engagement + Upside

We sit on top of a portfolio company as the operating layer. Engagement fee for the seat, carry on the value we create. Built for PE-backed transformations.

The Business Trajectory

What happens after we engage.

The arc looks the same across operators we partner with — distressed, underperforming, or already healthy. Headcount flattens or comes down. Margin expands. The brand and the customer relationship stay yours.

Month 0
Setup

Two-week dive into P&L, team, workflows, and customer data. Joint thesis on where margin actually leaks and what to do about it.

Month 1–2
Install

Hybrid human + agent operating layer goes live across go-to-market, finance, ops, and reporting. Operators in the seat, agents underneath.

Month 3–6
Re-shape

Cost base re-aligned to the work that compounds. Unprofitable surface area falls away. Margin starts to bend before revenue does.

Month 6+
Compound

Headcount flat or down, net income materially higher, every workflow instrumented. The next quarter starts from a stronger base, not from zero.

CASE STUDY · ANONYMOUS

We partnered with a luxury fashion brand and delivered 4× net income on roughly half the revenue.

The brand had distribution, taste, and a loyal customer. Together we installed a hybrid human + agent operating layer underneath the business — a small team of operators paired with agents running merchandising, customer, finance, and reporting. We focused the company on the work that compounded and let the agents carry the load that used to require headcount. Same brand, sharper shape, dramatically more profit per dollar of revenue.

Hybrid human + agent team

A small operator team makes the calls. Agents execute the repeatable work — merchandising, CX, ops, finance — at near-zero marginal cost.

Focused on what compounds

We concentrated effort on the brand at its best — full-price, full-margin product lines and customers — instead of spreading the team thin across everything.

4× net income, half the revenue

Profit recovered through structure and focus, not cuts to the brand. Same identity, smaller surface area, far more earnings per dollar of revenue.

Team

Built by an operator, not a consultant.

GDPi is led by Pranay Srinivasan — 28+ years in global trade, $300M+ in goods sold, 1B+ units made. Founder and CEO of Manufactured, and previously founder of SourceEasy — two of the original SaaS-enabled supply chain platforms for consumer brands. The career has been spent in the seat — sourcing, financing, distributing, and selling physical goods at scale.

Consumer & Apparel Brands

Two decades sourcing, producing, and shipping for global apparel, accessories, and lifestyle brands — from Mumbai factories to US and EU retail.

Global Trade & Manufacturing

Built and ran cross-border production and trade operations across seven countries. 1B+ units made, $300M+ sold, end-to-end ownership of cost, quality, and delivery.

Supply Chain Software

Founded and operated Manufactured / SourceEasy — a SaaS-enabled production and sourcing platform — for over a decade. Built the software while running the operations it powered.

SMB Trade Finance & Distribution

Helped SMBs make, finance, and distribute goods globally. Hands-on across working capital, inventory financing, and the unglamorous middle of moving product to market.
