Vikas C. — AI Researcher
I work at the intersection of economics, data science, and technology, helping organisations develop better business strategies and decisions under uncertainty. Across insurance, banking, and financial services, I’ve partnered with senior business leaders on problems influencing growth, risk, pricing, retention, product design, marketing, and performance. My focus is not AI/ML or GenAI for their own sake, but using economic reasoning and data to shape clear, actionable choices that impact outcomes. With a PhD in Economics and hands-on experience building AI/ML models and GenAI products, I bridge the gap that often exists between strategy and data science for decision-making in various business functions. I’ve led end-to-end analytics and decision-science initiatives spanning business challenge identification, problem framing, analysis design, model development and business interpretation of its output, contributing to process transformation, revenue growth, cost optimisation, risk management, product design, and performance improvements. I enjoy engaging with founders, CXOs, and senior leaders navigating complexity and change.
