Nishant Kumar — Co-Founder
Bridging AI-driven analytics, behavioral strategy, and high-stakes decision-making, I specialize in crafting data-backed solutions that optimize business performance. With a background in corporate strategy, machine learning, and professional poker, I thrive in high-stakes environments where calculated risks and intelligent decision-making define success. I hold a B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering from IIT Guwahati, where I developed a strong foundation in Machine Learning, Finance, and Statistics—a skill set I’ve applied across industries. I started my career as a Pricing Analyst for the Apparel BU at Sears Holdings, later transitioning into a Data Scientist role at the Sears Deep Learning Center, working on predictive modeling, demand forecasting, and AI-driven business optimization. My deep-rooted interest in business strategy and consumer insights led me to Procter & Gamble, where I drove Analytics & Insights for the Femcare category, working on market intelligence, pricing strategies, and product innovations. When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the poker tables, competing with some of the best players in the country. My love for the game—combined with a vision to make “Pursuing Poker Aspirational in India”—led me to my current role at PokerBaazi, where I blend game theory, behavioral strategy, and analytics to shape the future of the industry. At my core, I am a strategist—whether in business, AI, or poker. The approach remains the same: Think ahead, manage risk, and execute with precision. Let’s connect if you’re in the gaming, analytics, or AI space—or if you’re just passionate about high-level decision-making.
