About

I began with solving physics equations as a student of STEM, ventured into balancing books as a Chartered Accountant, moved to decoding human behavior during my MBA at FMS - and somewhere along the way, discovered the magic that lives at the intersection of disciplines. Today, I am teaching machines to think across disciplines, with context and intent. I don’t see AI as just a tool, but as a strategic lever for reinvention. The systems we’re building aren’t just automating tasks; they’re enhancing human potential and reimagining what organisations are capable of. This journey gave me the opportunity to make significant contributions to AI and computer vision with nine co-authored patents. Outside the world of tech, you’ll find me chasing footballs, mountain views, and cultural perspectives. In a world that often asks you to pick a lane, I’ve chosen to build bridges. Because the future doesn’t belong to specialists or generalists, it belongs to the interdisciplinary explorers.
