About the authors

Kunal Sawarkar is a Chief Data Scientist and AI thought leader. He currently leads the worldwide AI Build Labs for crafting innovative products. In the past, he has built multiple AI Product labs from scratch & led products to hyper-growth. He holds a Master's degree from Harvard University with major coursework in Applied Statistics. He has been applying Machine Learning to solve previously unsolved problems in industry & society, with special focus on Deep Learning. He has 20+ patents and published papers in this field. He also serves as an Advisory Board Member and as an Angel Investor focused on Sustainability via AI.

When not diving into data, he enjoys rock climbing and learning to fly apart from continuing his incessant curiosity in astronomy and wildlife.

"What attracted me to Data Science is the poetry of chance & certainty. Building AI is like creating symphony out of chaos."

Shivam R Solanki is a senior data scientist living at the interstice of business, data and technology. He earned his Master's degree from Texas A&M University with a major coursework in Applied Statistics. He is passionate about solving business problems through the application of Statistics, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

" The reality is unpredictable only as long as we see it without the lens of Statistics. To my family for always supporting me in my endeavors."

Amit Joglekar is an experienced Machine Learning Engineer with strong focus on design. He is passionate about learning new technologies and thoroughly enjoy programming in Cloud Native Technologies and Deep Learning.

"To my parents and brother for encouraging to take up a career in computer science. To my wife & children for support as I continue to explore this new field"

"We would like to pay our respect to Alan Turing for initiating humanity's endeavor towards Turing Machines (what we call Computers today) and for inventing this field by publishing first paper on Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, Deep Learning would have been impossible without the founding fathers like Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton who brought sea change in the capabilities of AI"
