AI X Product | MIT Research Alum | Perplexity Business Fellow
With a decade of experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence, consumer products, and edtech.
My journey began as a software engineer and evolved into product strategy, driven by a deep-seated curiosity and a passion for solving meaningful problems. At MIT, I conducted research in computer vision at CSAIL and affective computing at the Media Lab, experiences that sparked a lifelong commitment to experimentation and real-world impact. Over the years, I’ve advised startups on building commercially viable tech products, written research about Gen AI, LLMs, data-centric AI, and wireless sensing, and taught the fundamentals of AI across six continents.
Previously, I founded GRITAY a software services firm, then led international product expansion at KAZAM, a Series A EV startup, where I drove revenue growth across four continents and shaped the experience for over 150,000+ users.
An avid global traveler, I’ve lived, studied, and worked across India, and the United States drawing constant inspiration from the cultural, technological, and artistic richness of each place I visit. This global perspective, paired with a multidisciplinary mindset, fuels my commitment to building with empathy, purpose, and long-term impact.
