At Authmind, I took AI from zero to production for an AI-first identity security platform. I shipped Agentic AI and RAG-based security copilots that help analysts detect, triage, and respond to cyberattacks 40% faster.

At Epsilon (Publicis Groupe), I built the Data Science Global Capability Center in Bengaluru and scaled the AI organization from 10 to 100+ members. I also launched the Decision Engine, an ML platform that improved resource efficiency by 50%.

At Capillary Technologies, I built AI and ML practices and products for B2B SaaS, CRM, loyalty, and customer engagement. At Seynse Technologies, I patented an ML-based credit underwriting algorithm using telecom data.

My work spans Agentic AI, generative AI, machine learning, and production AI systems across cybersecurity, retail, fintech, and healthcare. I’ve also published a book on synthetic data generation and contributed to patents and industry publications.
