AI governance, technology policy and climate risk. I research how governance holds up in practice, and I build the systems that have to live with it.
Eight things at once, on purpose. Policy work needs someone who has shipped, and shipping needs someone who has read the rules.
Co-founder and COO. Operations, go to market and government partnerships across three product lines.
Public policy, AI and emerging technology, with the Center for Industry Self-Regulation. Leading a proposal on AI sandbox guidance and supporting the Annual Soft Law Summit.
Senior Fellow and Editor. Data centres, AI infrastructure, energy demand, water use and grid resilience.
Delegate and International Cooperation Council member. Working groups and policy consultations on interoperable AI governance.
Founder. A civic utility platform for Indian cities.
Co-founder. Websites and the infrastructure around them for startups and growing businesses.
Startup advisor on strategy, product direction and system-level design for AI-driven respiratory intelligence.
MBA candidate, International Business.
Engineering, then defence research, then building, then selling, then policy. The through line is the seam between what gets built and who answers for it.
I grew up in Bengaluru and read electronics and communications engineering at PES University. The city was becoming India's technology capital while I was learning how the hardware underneath it actually worked, which turned out to be a useful order to learn things in.
I spent a year and a half at DRDO's Aeronautical Development Establishment in Bengaluru, working on image processing and computer vision. It was my first look at how a state institution actually consumes technology: slowly, carefully, with an evidence burden that commercial software never has to carry. Almost everything I now believe about AI governance started there.
I co-founded SitFit, an AI office ergonomics product, and took it from concept to pilot rollout. We raised $200,000 from Co-Create Ventures, a student venture fund, and I led product design, user research and go to market. I exited after two years. The lesson that stuck was not about models. It was that a system nobody is accountable for is a system nobody trusts.
At inai, a Y Combinator S21 company later acquired by Chargebee, I worked on growth and content strategy for payment orchestration. Then eight months as a go to market consultant at TestMu AI, where I ran demos and account strategy for cloud QA tooling and finished Q3 2023 at 157 percent of quota. Two years of learning how technical products are actually bought, which is not how they are actually built.
I moved to Washington, DC for an MBA in International Business at The George Washington University, and promptly spent most of it outside the classroom. At FICCI America I prepared research notes on technology and strategic cooperation, including a five-year summary for Prime Minister Modi's visit, and coordinated a US India Business Group roundtable with the Embassy of India. At the Washington Forum on India I contributed white papers on public sector procurement and AI readiness.
In parallel I built !ntellibot, an automated open source intelligence pipeline. It scaled past seven thousand daily requests and was integrated into WorldMonitor inside eighteen months. It is the direct ancestor of what I now do at Alethman: reading the open record at machine speed, without making claims the evidence does not support.
With Upskilling Labs and DC Public Library I mentor AI upskilling cohorts for early career professionals, people returning to industry and laid off federal employees. I have guided five teams through to DC Startup and Tech Week. Governance arguments get much more honest when you are standing in front of the people the transition reaches first.
In July I was a respondent at the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva, arguing that India and the Global South are not a footnote to AI governance but its most demanding test case. In May I published India at the Threshold, a strategic foresight assessment of the 2026 El Niño, which Aevy TV picked up with named attribution. Then, in the space of four months, Ooru, Netizen Studio, Alethman, the Center for Industry Self-Regulation and The Monsoon Institute.
Governance should be measured not by how many principles we publish, but by how reliably they hold up in practice. That is why the systems I build log everything, sign their outputs and can be audited by the people they answer to. Principles are cheap. Traceability is the expensive part, and it is the only part that holds.
Four live, two finished. Each one a bet that the gap between a stated rule and a working system is where the real problem sits.
Co-founder and COO. Delaware, since September 2026.
Alethman parses unstructured geopolitical data feeds into real-time risk modelling for decision-makers. The systems are built to be self-hostable inside government infrastructure, with append-only audit trails and cryptographically signed outputs, so every finding can be traced back to what produced it. I lead operations, go to market and government partnerships across three product lines.
A civic utility platform for Indian cities. It started in Bengaluru with one question: why is the information you need to actually live in your city scattered across a dozen apps, PDFs and WhatsApp groups? Live in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune, on the web and on Google Play, with iOS on the way.
Co-founder. Since August 2026.
A digital solutions studio for startups and growing businesses. We design and build fast, modern websites, and then handle the unglamorous infrastructure around them: domains, business email, forms, analytics, integrations and ongoing technical support.
Startup advisor. Since April 2026.
A healthtech company building AI-driven respiratory intelligence for neuro-respiratory applications. I support the founders on strategy, product direction and system-level design across AI, medical devices and clinical data. An equity-based advisory role.
Founder. 2024 to 2026. Merged into WorldMonitor.
An automated open source intelligence pipeline that scaled past seven thousand daily requests and was integrated into WorldMonitor within eighteen months. The technical ancestor of Alethman.
Co-founder. 2019 to 2022. Exited.
A venture-backed AI office ergonomics product, taken from concept to pilot rollout. Raised $200,000 from Co-Create Ventures. I led product design, user research and go to market, and built the early partnerships that validated the market.

A technology policy researcher and founder working on AI governance, sovereign AI and climate risk. Co-founder and COO of Alethman, founder of Ooru, Senior Fellow and Editor at The Monsoon Institute, and an MBA candidate in International Business at The George Washington University. ENTP-A, for whatever that is worth.
What makes AI governance work in practice rather than on paper: what autonomous agents can access, who authorises their actions, and how failures are detected and audited. That runs across AI safety and regulation, sovereign AI, industry self-regulation and soft law, and the energy and water footprint of AI infrastructure.
An intelligence infrastructure company that turns unstructured geopolitical data feeds into real-time risk modelling. Three product lines: Pramaan for narrative integrity and verification, Arctus for defence and security intelligence fusion, Polity for fraud and leakage detection in public spending. Self-hostable, append-only, cryptographically signed.
