In January 2019, I left India at 22. It was my first flight.
I knew nobody where I was going and had not booked even one night in a hotel. As the plane descended, I remember looking down at snow on the houses. Everything felt unfamiliar. I wanted a better life and a chance to build something. I had little idea how to begin.
Techworkify was my first entrepreneurial venture, focused on technology staffing through HyperLedger OÜ in Estonia. COVID and travel restrictions interrupted my plans and prevented me from moving the venture forward as intended.
I later completed my master’s in Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Hult International Business School in San Francisco. In 2025, I founded DataGovernAI LLC.
My background in data engineering also shaped my interest in AI systems. While developing a concept for an AI leasing assistant, I became interested in the decisions behind the conversation.
The concept involved an assistant that would look up availability and help schedule tours. That raised questions about outdated information, incorrect assumptions passed between agents, and actions that required human approval.
Those questions led to my patent application and my focus on runtime governance. I now study how agents coordinate work, check evidence, and involve people in decisions. I pursue these questions through independent research, doctoral studies in information technology, and my HOMININI prototype.
