About

I'm a Tech Philosopher. My primary specialisation is eXplainable AI (XAI) and Reinforcement Learning. I create differentiators for SaaS startups by designing deep-tech algorithms to solve real-world problems. I currently head Tech & AI at WebEngage, where I'm scaling eXplainable Analytics and Intelligent Agentic Automation to hundreds of millions. SaaS companies struggle to create seamless user experience that skyrocket adoption. They sure can integrate a "few AI APIs," but so can any other startup. But how do you build a differentiator that won't wipe your company off the planet when the next version of ChatGPT is released? By integrating product-thinking coupled with my business acumen, and my expertise in deep-tech (that I've been honing since the age of 11), I solve the "hard problem:" distilling complexities into simplicity. You'll find my tech philosophy at my aptly named "The Tech Philosopher" blog: https://thephilosopher.tech/
