## About

I build AI platforms that transform how healthcare and pharma organizations operate — from intelligent drug\-launch engines and clinical decision support systems to agentic workflows that compress months of analytics into real\-time decisions\. As VP of AI at Beghou — a leading pharma commercial analytics firm — I lead the design and deployment of next\-generation AI products across commercial, medical, and market access functions for top\-tier pharmaceutical clients\. My work sits at the intersection of deep AI engineering, healthcare domain expertise, and product\-led transformation\. Over 20\+ years, I have: • Architected and launched AI platforms — including GenAI copilots, multi\-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and MLOps infrastructure — serving enterprise clients across pharma, payer, and provider verticals • Held 18 patents in applied AI, NLP, and machine intelligence, reflecting consistent original innovation • Authored 11 books on AI, deep learning, NLP, and explainable AI — establishing me as a trusted voice in the field • Built and led AI teams from the ground up at Lymbyc \(acquired by LTI\), scaling from founding engineer to Director of AI across a decade • Co\-founded Data Safeguard Inc\. — a US\-based AI startup — as Chief Architect and Head of AI, building data privacy intelligence solutions • Served as Visiting Faculty at IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, and IIM Kozhikode, shaping the next generation of AI practitioners I specialise in translating emerging AI capabilities — LLMs, agentic frameworks, knowledge graphs, causal AI — into scalable, governed, and outcome\-driven platforms that move organisations from AI experimentation to enterprise\-wide intelligence\.
