About

I'm Neeraj Jain, the Co-Founder and CEO of SonicLinker and a Fellow at South Park Commons. My career has been defined by building and scaling commerce infrastructure, most notably as the co-founder of Zopper, which we grew into India's largest hyperlocal marketplace before a partial exit to PhonePe. I've spent years at the intersection of product, payments, and scale, and I'm now deeply focused on the next evolution of the web: the agentic internet. I am passionate about helping businesses transition from serving human traffic to serving AI agents. Whether it's through agentic CDNs or machine-ready content, I'm building the tools that allow businesses to track and convert the 'consumers' of the future. I'm always looking to connect with technical leaders and business owners who are ready to adapt to this AI-native economy.

Opinions

The internet economy is shifting toward an 'AI-native' state where agents are the primary consumers.
Businesses must move beyond traditional analytics to 'Google Analytics for AI agents' to remain competitive.
