Bio

Hi! I’m Aniruddh - co-founder of Playgent! We are building sandboxes for AI agents. I did 4 years of NLP research with publications in EMNLP/ACL and was on-route to pursue a PhD when I decided to join YC. In my free time, I like writing articles on Medium, playing basketball, and doing acrylic art. You can reach me at aniruddh@useplaygent.com!
