Conducted research under Prof. Biplav Srivastava in explainable AI, adversarial robustness, and ML for healthcare. Research contributions: • Proposed generalized black-box input-perturbation algorithms for generating precise and robust visual explanations in object detection systems • Designed adversarial attack strategies exposing vulnerabilities in popular explanation methods for deep neural networks • Established benchmarks on the MS-COCO dataset for evaluating explanation robustness and fidelity • Open-sourced a state-of-the-art face-mask detection system with explainability features Publications resulting from this work were presented at CVPR, AAAI Workshop (W3PHIAI), and CODS-COMAD.

Building the Investigation Platform for Customer Support | Cohesity | CSE @ IIT Kanpur

About

We're building an Investogation Platform for B2B support teams. Modern support teams don't struggle because they lack tools. They struggle because customer context is scattered across Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, emails, logs, and countless internal systems. Every complex issue becomes a manual investigation, and valuable knowledge is often lost once it's resolved. We're building a platform where humans and AI investigate customer issues together. It continuously understands ongoing investigations, brings together the right context, recommends the next best actions, and captures institutional knowledge so every resolved issue makes the next one easier to solve. If you're building or leading an enterprise support organization, I'd love to connect.
