## Headline

Forward Deployed Engineer @ Vaani Research Labs \| Building voice AI agents for Indian businesses

## About

I build voice AI agents that let businesses talk to their customers in their own language, at scale\. At Vaani Research Labs, I work directly with clients as a Forward Deployed Engineer, taking voice agents from first prompt to live calls\. Our work spans collections, customer support, admissions and surveys, in Hindi, English, Hinglish and more\. Before Vaani, I built AI voice agents for customer support and e\-commerce automation at Hooman Labs, where I learned what it takes to ship things that actually go live\. Alongside my work, I'm a CSE student at VIT Chennai \(graduating 2027\)\. I led 180 Degrees Consulting VIT Chennai as President and drove startup partnerships as Partnership and Research Lead at V\-NEST\. Open to: conversations about voice AI, partnerships and pilots\.
