I’m Vinay. I am an entrepreneur and technologist with a career focused on AI, machine learning and building products that drive real business outcomes. I have helped start-ups and emerging tech companies define and execute growth strategies, while also rolling up my sleeves to design and deliver the technology that makes those strategies work.
My hands-on background includes building machine learning-based credit scoring models for banks using SAS E-Miner and Python, developing AI-enabled chatbots, and leading the creation of intelligent document classification and information extraction engines. I enjoy combining deep technical expertise with a clear view of what the market needs, and I have built products and solutions that stand up in regulated and high-stakes industries.
I have managed large and complex programmes and accounts, always with a balance of technical innovation and commercial delivery. One of the things I am proud of is pioneering the co-sourcing model to get the best from global delivery. By designing operational frameworks that connect distributed teams, I have helped organisations deliver efficiency and quality at scale. Much of my work has been in finance, insurance and banking, with particular expertise in fixed income and equity domains, along with designing and deploying insurance products and solutions for large IT organisations.
As CTO at askelie, I focus on building ecosystems that are scalable, secure and able to support ambitious growth. I am passionate about anticipating what businesses will need tomorrow, not just meeting the demands of today. My leadership style is about empowering teams, encouraging innovation and always making sure there is a strong link between business objectives and technical execution.
My experience covers start-up strategy, AI and machine learning product innovation, enterprise solution architecture, large-scale programme management and technology leadership in regulated industries.
