What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build evidence-led, user-centered AI initiatives that create public value, working across government, research, and implementation partners in areas such as agriculture, public health, and social impact.

At Wadhwani AI, I lead AgriVaani, an agricultural advisory application for small-holder farmers, connecting product strategy, user research, and field-informed design.

I developed its theory of change and evaluation framework for a domain-specific small language model, linking model performance, adoption, and advisory quality to farmer decision-making. I also represent Wadhwani AI in the AI Collaborative for Food Security.

As Chief of Party and Lead Product Manager, I led a USD 3 million USAID-funded initiative for Tibetan library management and manuscript preservation. I developed a library management application and coordinated deployment and user training with 58+ monasteries, nunneries, and cultural institutions across India.

I've also managed public-health AI products and projects with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, spanning dermatology, oral cancer, clinical decision support, and tuberculosis. Across my work, I translate emerging technology into evidence-led, deployable initiatives through government partnerships, grants, and cross-functional delivery.
