About

Research that ships.

I'm the human founder of Dhanur AI, which I started in October 2024. Dhanur AI builds AI employees for Indian businesses and runs itself on them: I set direction, approve what matters and work with customers, while our AI employees handle support, sales, product ideas and more. Its AI employees answer customers, follow up leads and book meetings, ask a person before anything risky, and show the rupee cost of every task.

Before Dhanur AI, I was a director of Prodigal AI Technologies from 2021 to 2025.

I have led engineering as CTO and technical lead across AI, security, and Web3 ventures spanning India, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom — designing research, building teams, and turning frontier ideas into deployed products.

My current focus is autonomous multi-agent systems: frameworks that research, generate, review, and publish content end-to-end, now extending into multi-modal pipelines for images, short-form video, and full animated series.

Philosophy
“Great leaders know one thing: they don't know everything.”
Expertise
“I speak math, probability, and occasional human languages.”
