• Co-Founder & CTO at AuraML | Building Generative Robotics Simulation & Synthetic Data Platforms
• At AuraML (seed-funded $1.3M), we’re transforming how vision and robotics companies collect and annotate data using generative 3D simulation and cloud-native infrastructure.
• Led the development of a scalable cloud platform that generates synthetic datasets from configurable 3D scenes built in Unreal Engine and NVIDIA Omniverse.
• Engineered pipelines for dynamic GPU orchestration across AWS and GCP, enabling asynchronous dataset generation and seamless integration into training workflows.
• Pioneered text-to-3D environment generation using Llama-3 and in-house graph transformer models trained on over 1M scene datasets.
• Drove research on domain adaptation and data augmentation through fine-tuned diffusion models for real-world generalisation.
• Built and mentored a cross-functional team of engineers and researchers; defined the product roadmap, cloud architecture, and technical vision.
• Secured $1.23M in funding and forged key partnerships with NVIDIA, AWS, GCP, Capgemini, Aditya Birla, and BITS Pilani.
• Recognised among India’s Top 10 ML Startups (YourStory 2022), featured by Inc42 (2024), and selected for SaaSBoomi AI Spotlight.

• Antler is a global early-stage venture capital firm investing in tomorrow's defining technology companies.
• Highly talented individuals from business and technical backgrounds were part of this AIR1 Cohort - all with the aim to find a co-founder and build a startup. After spending weeks together and knowing each other, we shortlisted the people whom we would like to work with on our startup ideas as co-founders.
• I was extremely lucky to meet my co-founder in this cohort and start the journey for our startup AuraML together from there.

• EF invests in high-potential individuals to help them meet their co-founders, develop their ideas and secure funding from leading investors in the shortest possible time.
• Worked on 3 different startup ideas:
• 1. Virtual World Platform for hosting social events
• host social events such as demo days where users can participate in presentations, sessions, networking, and be part of other social activities that online meeting platforms such as google meet and Zoom do not provide.
• Did talk to major accelerators, incubators, VCs, and angler investors for customer development and to know their current experiences, particularly for hosting demo days on our platform.
• Paying capacity for this particular use case was not big enough.
• 2. Brain Controlled Wearable Exoskeletons
• Brain-controlled exoskeletons can provide better interaction of the exoskeleton with the body parts since the brain has a holistic view of the action that needs to be taken. Currently, exoskeletons are purely mechanical or muscle signals controlled.
• Market: Rehabilitation and Defence industry, and for auto-factory workers doing the heavy lifting.
• The solution we were providing was too complex and at a higher price point, which didn't make sense to our users.
• 3. Technical Documentation Assistant:
• a platform to assist developers and fast-growing tech companies maintain their technical documentation and keep it current.
• save time and resources when someone new is joining the company and onboarding them easily
• save time during the knowledge transfers when someone is leaving the company
• reducing the dependencies on core engineers with time crush, since the knowledge base is maintained and accessible by everyone.
• Did customer development with more than 60 companies at different stages.
• Developed VSCode Auto Documentation Extension: SyncoAI
• Customers didn't find a very big value shift compared to the existing significant products in the market like Confluence and Notion.
