I am an entrepreneur, economist, and engineer who works at the intersection of data, technology, and public policy. Over the past two decades, my career has been about one central idea: using evidence and innovation to solve complex problems for people, organizations, and societies.
I have built technologies that map the world’s actionable wisdom and improve it through AI-driven, evidence-based insights. One of my flagship platforms enables individuals and organizations to manage priorities by quantifying and optimizing their use of time. I also contribute to the development of international standards in management consulting, artificial intelligence, and consumer policy — ensuring that the tools we build are ethical, scalable, and globally relevant.
My journey has combined startup creation, research, and policy leadership. I have:
- Launched multiple AI-driven startups and a consulting firm.
- Helped corporations in manufacturing, eCommerce, fintech, and healthcare boost efficiency through AI/ML solutions and analytics strategies.
- Directed a global impact evaluation program for the European Investment Bank, one of the world’s largest multilateral lenders.
- Modeled long-term scenarios for a $500B government pension plan serving 30 million people.
- Contributed to the accounting standards for capitalization of intangible assets, now adopted in IFRS and GAAP worldwide.
- Designed and built international datasets such as the first-ever global database for estimating rates of technological change.
- Created one of the first no-code enterprise platforms used by Fortune 500 companies.
- Won international recognition, including a DARPA-sponsored forecasting competition and a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenge.
Along the way, I’ve advised governments and policymakers on competitiveness, fiscal sustainability, innovation policy, and digital transformation. I’ve taught university-level courses in business management, finance, international trade, and economics. I’ve managed engineering teams to deliver enterprise-grade software products, and I’ve published over 250 reports, papers, and articles spanning economics, technology, and markets.
At heart, I believe in bridging theory with practice: using rigorous data and research to shape real-world outcomes. Whether it’s restructuring industrial value chains for net-zero, helping startups measure and reduce risk, or mentoring young innovators, my work aims to turn ideas into impact.
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of British Columbia, a B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and Executive Program certificates from both Harvard Kennedy School and Columbia Business School.
Today, my focus is on building scalable AI platforms, shaping sustainable economic strategies, and mentoring the next generation of innovators who will redefine how we live, work, and create.
