Director of Artificial Intelligence at Cognizant, building Gemini agent platforms with enterprise orchestration and governance.

Message

At Cognizant, I architect enterprise Agentic AI platforms, including ontology and orchestration frameworks for large-scale deployments such as Google Gemini. I’m focused on production-ready systems that are governed, observable, and resilient across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

At Unilever, I built the AI forecasting and decision intelligence function and deployed a transformer-based forecasting platform across 30+ markets. It improved demand accuracy by 4–5%, reduced stockouts by 20%, and delivered £2.5M+ in incremental revenue.

My foundation is mathematics: I earned a PhD in Optimisation and Operations Research from IIT Bombay. Across my work, I’ve applied that foundation to enterprise AI, healthcare document intelligence, credit risk, and quantitative research.
