I am the Head of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at CreditVidya, where we primarily work on expanding the credit access to unserved and underserved population by leveraging the power of alternate data. Prior to CreditVidya, I was a Principal Data Scientist at Capillary Technologies, where my team and I launched multiple machine learning and data sciences products for retail businesses. Earlier, I had spent time as a researcher at ASU, Intel Labs, IIT Kharagpur (working in collaboration with General Motors India Science Lab and with Xerox Research Centre India), Google and Georgia Tech, predominantly working on various AI related technologies among other things. You may browse through my publications on the left to know more about my research, and visit my Linkedin profile to see the products which I have co-developed.
