About

I build AI companies that solve hard problems across industries. Today, I’m co-founding AI Kyro — where we’re changing the future of engineering. What we’re building/built: • ARK — Agentic AI that turns ideas into production software in hours, not months • Kyro Compass & Factory — Making AI models complaint and manageable for Enterprises • Startup Studio — Giving back to society by building AI talents everywhere Before AI Kyro, I co-founded NuGenomics — an AI-powered genomics platform born from losing family members to cancer. We raised money, partnered with Flipkart, Myntra, CarDekho, and Gameskraft, and proved AI can be deeply personal. My path: PhD from IIT Bombay-Monash Research Academy (NLP & ML). Post Doc at Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale, France. 15+ years at Samsung, Cognizant, Acalvio and my own ventures. What I write about: • Agentic AI — Autonomy, security, and the future of software creation • AI across industries — Healthcare, education, fintech, enterprise, and beyond • AI research — From research papers on AI system adoption, AI ethics, Responsible AI • Building AI companies — The founder lessons nobody tells you - Dark truths! I believe the best AI is built by people who’ve felt the problem. Open to: Speaking, advisory roles, AI consulting partnerships, and conversations with founders building across AI verticals.

  • I was part of the Sentiment Analysis (SA) Team of IITB. My study focused on resource constraints related to SA for Indian languages. I used different machine learning algorithms to boost the available data and then perform SA. One of the take away from my thesis is use of abstraction at feature level to improve SA performance. This abstraction is carried by projecting the the lexical feature space into semantic feature space. Using this technique, SA can be performed on most of the official Indian languages with minimal data.
  • Another problem I address in my thesis is domain adaptation for SA. An Ensemble of strong classifiers with intermediary training based on noisy data seems to solve the domain based constraints related to SA.
  • Apart from these, I worked on real time sentiment detection from Twitter. As a part of this, a streaming based SA engine was created. The objective of this endeavor was to use the information provided by this engine to do predictive analysis. One interesting task related to this is finding the financial fluctuation based on sentiment.
  • As a part of coursework related to PhD, I worked on many interesting Artificial Intelligence (AI)and Machine Learning related problems.
