MBA Candidate in Business Analytics | Applied AI | Finance | Digital Transformation
Bengaluru, India
I am an MBA candidate specialising in Business Analytics at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), with a postgraduate background in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence from MIT xPRO.
My interests sit at the intersection of Applied AI, business analytics, financial services and digital transformation. I enjoy translating business problems into analytical workflows and practical technology solutions.
My work spans retrieval-augmented generation, voice interfaces, data analysis, forecasting and financial research. I am particularly interested in building AI systems that are useful, measurable and grounded in reliable data.
Python · FastAPI · SQLite · Sarvam AI · Groq
An independently developed project for the Paytm Build for India AI Hackathon, Bengaluru (Track 1: Merchant Growth AI). Selected as a finalist.
- Analyses transaction history using SQL-based RFM segmentation to identify lapsed customers and delayed regulars.
- Supports win-back campaigns with deterministic offer and cashback controls.
- Includes an 80/20 treatment-control design to help measure campaign impact.
- Provides voice-led explanations in Kannada, Hindi and English.
- Demonstrated using a synthetic, seeded transaction ledger and a 21-test QA suite.
Independent hackathon project; not an official Paytm product.
React · Vite · FastAPI · Deepgram · Groq · edge-tts · BM25
A live, podcast-style voice agent that hosts interactive conversations and retrieves relevant information from user-uploaded context.
- Uses Deepgram for speech transcription and Groq for conversational responses.
- Generates spoken responses using edge-tts.
- Uses BM25 retrieval over uploaded documents to ground conversations in supplied material.
- Includes a React audience interface and an operator console, with a Streamlit dashboard available for alternate deployments.
- Supports session transcripts, document uploads and operator-side diagnostics.
Federal Bank · Planning MIS Department · Python · SQL · RAG
Designed and built with the Planning MIS team during my Applied AI internship at Federal Bank. This was a proof of concept, not a production system.
- Developed a retrieval-augmented natural-language-to-SQL workflow across 168 validated Finacle tables from a schema of more than 900 tables.
- Combined query decomposition, domain and temporal routing, BM25 and vector retrieval, Reciprocal Rank Fusion, cross-encoder reranking, graph-based join planning and SQL validation.
- Improved execution accuracy from 25.9% to 83.0% on a 1,000-query benchmark through data-engineering and schema-context improvements.
- Built a reusable knowledge base containing table descriptions, join relationships, decode mappings and query-pattern templates.
- Estimated a potential annual saving of 4,070+ hours; this was a projection, not a realised saving.
Python · Groq · ChromaDB · BM25
A financial research assistant designed to work with Indian company annual reports and RBI circulars.
- Combines dense semantic retrieval and BM25 keyword search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
- Uses an agent to select relevant sources and produce answers with supporting citations.
- Submitted to a hackathon at IIT Kharagpur.
Python · Pyodide/WebAssembly · WebR · DuckDB-WASM
A browser-based analytical workspace for Python, R and SQL.
- Runs analytical workflows in the browser, keeping data client-side.
- Includes an automatic CSV data profiler and AI-assisted code generation.
- Deployed through a GitHub Actions pipeline.
CrewAI · Ollama · LangChain · ChromaDB · Streamlit
A multi-agent platform for enterprise IT governance and pre-implementation project risk review.
- Covers legal and regulatory compliance, data protection and privacy, AML, IT security, governance and SDLC controls.
- Emphasises retrieved evidence, confidence scoring, unsupported-claim flags and an audit trail.
- Includes an MCP server that exposes the agents as tools.
IDEAS, Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata · Python · Random Forest · MLP
Completed as part of the Autumn Internship Program 2026 under the mentorship of Dr. Chandan Biswas.
- Prepared and cleaned historical product-demand data, engineered features and treated outliers.
- Built Random Forest and Multilayer Perceptron models.
- Evaluated model performance using a business penalty metric and documented the analysis in a project report.
