AI-focused founder building ad-tech and applied ML infrastructure for MSMEs and hospitality.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI-focused founder with 4+ years across ad-tech, data engineering, and applied ML, and I’m currently solo-building commerce infrastructure at BharatReach. With MeitY funding and BITS Pilani incubation, I’m working with the Government of Rajasthan to activate MSME onboarding and demand generation end-to-end.
At BharatReach, I built a self-serve DSP integrating walled gardens and programmatic bidding, including vernacular and hyperlocal targeting across 22+ languages. I also launched UdyamSetu with WhatsApp-based onboarding and AI-driven scheme pathway matching, and I developed VEDH, a vertical AI platform for hospitality revenue intelligence using Claude API + RAG—resulting in meetings with 15 of 18 ultra-luxury properties in Udaipur and an 83% conversion rate.
