Work Experience
Senior AI Data Scientist — Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. (MOFSL)
Nov 2025–Present
- Work within the AI Research Team on applied and foundational AI for the Indian context.
- Research time-series and tabular foundation models for financial data.
- Develop Indic TTS/ASR tokenization and production-grade lip-sync systems.
- Develop research aimed at top-tier AI and machine-learning venues.
Project details and results remain high-level because MOFSL work is proprietary.
