Executive Profile

Practitioner. Professor.
Strategic AI Leader.

I stand at the intersection of three disciplines that rarely converge in one career — I build and ship production AI systems, teach it at graduate level in the US and India, and advise Fortune 500 FMCG companies on AI-driven strategy. This combination is genuinely rare at the leadership level.

“Most AI experts advise on what I have actually architected, deployed, and measured in production.”

Over 19+ years I have moved from analytics foundations at Genpact through strategic leadership at Great Learning, where I run AI/ML and GenAI product delivery across four cities while simultaneously teaching Computer Vision at Northwestern University (MSDS) and NLP & Generative AI at Great Lakes Institute of Management.

I bring equal fluency in transformer architecture, CXO-level strategy conversations, and classroom delivery — applying the same depth whether presenting an AI portfolio to a CMO or explaining RAG internals to a senior engineer.
