I am current working at IBM Research AI in New Delhi as a Senior Researcher & Manager for the Dialog platforms research team. 

I have 13 years of industry experience working on various aspects of software development and research. Over the last 9 years, I have been focused on developing innovative research solutions for many real-world applications using Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing in the areas of Education, Tourism, Social Media & Customer Relationship Management, Information Management & Noisy Data Cleansing. My research has been incorporated into multiple IBM products including IBM Watson Assistant and IBM eDiscovery Analyzer, and has also led to the creation of new offerings such as IBM Watson Enlight for Educators and IBM Cognitive Content Collator.  I am also the co-founder of a community initiative on Responsible AI Licenses and I serve as the Chair of the IEEE P2840 Standard working group on Responsible AI Licensing.  In 2018, I was named one of the "Top Innovators Under 35 in India" by MIT Technology Review Magazine and Mint. I  have also been member of the ACM Future of Computing Academy. 

In my current role at IBM, I am responsible for identifying research problems that need to be addressed for scalable development of enterprise chatbots. Some of my recent work has been incorporated in IBM Watson Assistant in the form of intent recommendations; these recommendations help the designer identify and prioritize the high impact intents to start modeling first.
