Founder and CEO of Asquared IoT, a new venture that focuses on analytics and algorithms for Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). We apply state-of-the-art analytics and Machine Learning techniques (including Deep Learning and other types of Neural Networks) to explore the data from manufacturing plants, to gain insights into the data, identify anomalies and failures, and to derive useful information including probabilities of failures. This venture is in partnership with Aniruddha Pant (CEO, AlgoAnalytics).
