Provide a concise overview of your professional experience and career progression.
I have founded and currently serve as the CEO of Drishya AI Labs, an industrial AI company operating in Calgary, Canada, and Bangalore, India. Prior to establishing this venture, I held the position of CEO at
Satsure, a startup focused on agricultural satellite data analytics. Before that, I enjoyed a 17-year tenure at Goldman Sachs, where I held various roles in locations such as New York, London, and Bangalore. The culmination of these experiences has propelled us to become a recognized leader in industrial AI. Our company primarily caters to enterprise clients in the oil and gas resources sector, allowing us to collaborate with some of the largest energy companies worldwide. The expertise acquired from leading technology organizations and previous startup endeavours has been instrumental in our journey and contributed to our current success. Notably, my co-founders, some of whom are former colleagues from Goldman Sachs, bring valuable backgrounds that further strengthen our team. Together, we leverage our collective knowledge and experiences to drive Drishya AI Labs forward.

As a leader, how have you been guiding your team to extract meaningful market insights and ensure the company's sustained presence in the industry?
As a young company, our emphasis lies in recruiting individuals who possess a strong inclination towards learning and problem-solving.This has been instrumental in our ability to adapt and thrive in the industry. Every member of our team, whether they are developers, product engineers, data scientists, or platform personnel, actively engages in customer facing discussions, which serve as an invaluable source of market insights. We strongly believe that our customers are our greatest educators. Our core values and company culture reinforce a continuous learning and innovation mindset, particularly in a rapidly changing market landscape. Collaborating with major energy companies globally has further enhanced our team's knowledge and skills. However, given our location outside traditional energy hubs like Bangalore, we proactively encourage our team to actively participate in industry events and stay updated on industry news to foster a deep understanding of the energy sector in which we operate.
What are your future aspirations and long term plans for the upcoming years? How do you envision your roadmap for the future?
Given the current financial market turmoil, climate change impacts, and disruptive influence of AI, traditional business paradigms are rapidly evolving. The effects of climate change, as evident in events like heavy rains and forest fires, are reshaping the way business is conducted. It is crucial for aspiring entrepreneurs to recognize these fast-changing dynamics as they bring both disruption and chaos, while also presenting opportunities to embrace new paradigms.
