Kushal earned his Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics engineering from BITS, Pilani (Hyderabad Campus) in 2019. He worked in various capacities for 3 years at India's largest e-commerce platform, Flipkart.

At Flipkart, he started off as a software developer, helping solve logistics planning problems at a massive scale by building efficient microservices. After finding success in this role, he transitioned to a data scientist in the search team. There, he researched existing literature on search intent classification and other related NLP sub-fields. He applied this research and designed and developed a deep ensemble model to classify user intent, thus helping improve the recall of relevant products at Flipkart.

Kushal aspires to be instrumental in advancing the state of the art at the frontiers of AI, specifically in the fields of AI Ethics, Reinforcement Learning, and AI Alignment. He also hopes to contribute to the growth of organizations that aim to use the tremendous potential of AI to solve real-world problems in a responsible manner.
