Projects
Things I have built, companies I have founded and organisations I have contributed to.
Terno AI enables business users to ask questions about their organisational data in natural language and receive reliable, analytically sound answers. Unlike AI tools that generate plausible-sounding text, Terno generates and executes analytical code in a secure environment — making results verifiable and reproducible.
The platform is designed for enterprise deployment, with a semantic layer that maps messy real-world data to business concepts, fine-grained access controls, sandboxed code execution and the ability to run within a customer's private cloud infrastructure.
Terno handles complex analytics including forecasting, clustering, classification, statistical analysis and decision support — not just simple SQL queries.
CloudxLab is an education platform built to make practical, high-quality technology learning accessible to a large number of people. It has reached hundreds of thousands of learners interested in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, data engineering, cloud computing, distributed systems and generative AI.
Teaching and interacting with learners through CloudxLab profoundly changed my thinking about education. It reinforced my belief that good teaching is not about delivering information — it is about helping learners discover ideas, develop confidence and build the ability to think independently.
The platform is built around hands-on learning, real environments and the philosophy I call Learning by Inventing.
tBits built document management software and technology products that were used extensively in India's power sector — including in projects related to the construction and operation of power plants. Seeing software built by my team being used in real industrial contexts was a formative experience.
Through tBits, I hired and mentored several talented engineers, many of them graduates from leading Indian engineering institutions. Many of those engineers have gone on to build strong careers in the technology industry.
tBits taught me how to turn technical capability into real-world outcomes — and how important it is to build for users who depend on your software for serious work.
During my time at IIT Roorkee, I co-founded IMG — Information Management Group — the student-led technical group responsible for building and maintaining important online systems and resources on campus.
This was my first experience of building something real that many people depended on. It shaped my early understanding that technology, at its best, is a form of service — and that building useful things requires not just technical skill but also the ability to understand what people actually need.
