ChairmanAi Foundry Oct 2020 - PresentBengaluru, Karnataka, In -
Ceo, AifoundryAi Foundry Apr 2019 - Oct 2020Bengaluru, Karnataka, InOver the past few years, Artificial intelligence has been put to use in revolutionizing the lives of more than a billion people living in developed markets. But, what about the 6bn people living in the developing world? They have unique problems and thus require unique solutions, which may not be built out of traditional AI clusters of Silicon Valley or elsewhere. India is the "supermarket" of unique problems and coupled with data diversity and talent, could power the next big AI cluster to push AI to work for 6bn people who are living in developing markets. Solutions could be found by putting together capital, resources, talent, and an "idea to impact" eco-system to accelerate AI innovation for the developing world. We incubated KarmaLife (www.KarmaLife.ai), India’s largest AI driven financial platform for gig workers. We also have created together with IISc, ARTPARK ( Www.Artpark.in) AI & Robotics Technology Park, seed funded by Govt of India to impact 1bn people with AI by 2030.
