I’m a former deeptech founder exploring AI through learning, building, and experimentation. I create tools, agents, and workflows that help people think, learn, and work better.

Right now
Organizations have a lot of useful knowledge spread across videos, documents, talks, reports, and meetings, but even when the right answer exists, it's hard to find and use.
I am currently working with Venture Center, a deeptech, science based incubator to connect their videos and talks with an AI layer so founders can search, ask questions, and apply the incubator’s knowledge in their own work.
Things I Have Built
Over the last three years I have built more than 100 AI prototypes across science, education, healthcare, finance, and other areas. Here are three that got traction:
Competency Assessment Platform
A workshop roleplay on crucial conversations led me to build an AI practice chatbot in 90 minutes. That prototype turned into a commercial platform now used by more than eight enterprise clients. It taught me how fast a rough prototype can become something real.
Document Processing Pipeline
In a SolveIt Discord community, 1,000+ participant projects were buried across 15,000+ Discord messages. I built a pipeline to identify and surface them on a dashboard, so useful projects people built wouldn’t disappear into the thread.
AI Agent for a BioBanking Platform
A biobanking company asked if AI could automate their dashboard setup on a proprietary platform with zero public documentation. I scraped internal docs, built retrieval and validation tools, wired it into a pipeline, and deployed working user workflows. A proof of concept that showed what's possible inside closed enterprise systems.
A Community I Run
On weekends, I host AI Study Group in a café in Pune. We do hands-on experimentation around different AI tools, domains and use-cases. There are no slides, lectures or fixed syllabus. People show up and build together. If someone gets stuck, we figure it out as a group. We have done this more than 45 times, and around 900 people have joined over the past year. It has become one of the best parts of my week.
I have also run hands-on AI building sessions for Venture Center and IISER Pune.
Where I come from
I studied basic science at IISER Pune. While I was there, I co-founded the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell and helped write a proposal that brought a ₹10 Cr grant from NITI Aayog to set up an incubator on campus.
After graduating, I started ZeroPlast Labs to replace single-use plastics with biodegradable materials. Over five years, we raised ₹2.2 Cr from UNIDO, DST, and DBT, built a 16 person team, and worked with companies including H&M, ITC, Nivea, Nestlé, and Decathlon. In 2023, I shut it down after realizing that bioplastics were not the right solution.
Walking away from something I had poured five years into reshaped how I think about building, technology, and impact.
I am open to short projects and workshops on AI use, especially around science, research, and education. If you have something in mind, message me on LinkedIn.
