About

The tectonic plates of the world are moving—literally, metaphorically, technologically to say the least. Furthermore, to quote the Indian Demi-God Thiruvalluvar--‘Wisdom is to live in tune with the mode of the changing world’; Thirukkural, circa 300 BCE to 5th century CE). And the so-called Vegas rule--what happens in a single discipline-industry doesn't stay there within that particular discipline-industry anymore--does not apply in today's interdisciplinary interconnected globalised world to any discipline-industry. > What I was upto in the past decade? Worked with Microsoft Healthcare(BUDDI/Buddihealth), while brutally crushing Amazon’s imbecile ambitions of conquering Healthcare-AI, unintentionally. Sorry, Bezos you can’t get lucky every time. Before joining BUDDI-Microsoft I worked for a startup, which currently has built Robo-kitchen. Moreover, my focus recently has shifted to a disproportionate combination of(while not just limited to; but predominantly) Technology, Astrophysics, Agriculture, Political Science, Philosophy, Engineering, Spirituality, Machine learning, Art, Healthcare, Humanities, Neuroscience, Medicine, Artificial intelligence, International relations, Quantum Physics, etc. Previously, from a purely techno-mathematical machine learning perspective-lens in the past decade to a more Humanistic-“intelligence” perspective-lens for this decade and the coming decades. Furthermore, if you want to know my "PhD" work(life long—multi-decades work), you can ping me; as I haven’t put it it out on the world yet.(Hint: ‘Earth—Next?’). “Any sufficiently advanced work is indistinguishable from play”

Pursuing meaning, impact and purpose—as Scientist, Entrepreneur, Writer, Researcher.

Jan 2020Present · 6 yrs 5 mos · New Delhi, Delhi, India

  • Okay, so...Yes. Here is the big-picture for the curious minds. I do, appreciate your "inquisitive curiosity"( basically "God" in a different "dimensional space"). To put it bluntly, it's basically everything and nothing at the same time depending on which school of ideology/thought/philosophy you predominantly subscribe to. To quote Einstein, there are two ways to live life—accepting everything as a miracle or just a commonplace thing.
  • But, definitely it's much closer to the "Cosmic" intersection of 'Language', 'Intelligence', Philosophy, Art, Humanities, Technology, and of course ML/AI/AGI and everything else.
