Bio

Hi! I'm Ashish. I grew up in India, studied at IIT Roorkee, clearing the prestigious IIT JEE exam, ranking 999 out of 400,000 students. Wrote my first computer program at age 13 - a soccer game on FoxPro. I scored a distinction studying ML(AI) at EPFL - a top-5 world-class Swiss University. I declined a 5-year PhD fellowship offer from the Head of the Computer Vision Department at EPFL to work at a Belgian tech startup. 6 countries, 5 startups & 2 unicorns later, I have developed Tractable's automotive language model, built Revolut's automated KYC platform onboarding 40K+ daily customers from 70+ countries, led fraud detection teams saving £50mn+ in FinCrime losses, authored 4 published books on AI - ranging from PyTorch to Fraud Detection, and advised a drone-tech startup from 0 to pre series-A. I am currently building my dream company with my dream co-founder: Nativ.
