# Saurav Gupta on Tal

## Headline

Co\-Founder/CTO @ Dots\-In \| Behavioral Tech, Start\-up Leadership

## About

I am a technology entrepreneur focused on building AI systems that move beyond automation to truly understand human behavior\. I hold a Master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology \(IIT\) Kanpur and a Bachelor’s degree from IIT Patna, where I developed a strong foundation in engineering, data systems, and applied intelligence\. My professional journey has been shaped by a consistent focus on translating deep research into scalable, real\-world solutions\. I have worked across advanced AI research, Quantum Machine Learning, NLP systems, and cloud\-native architectures, building systems that operate at the intersection of intelligence, scale, and impact\. At organizations like Mphasis and Predii, I contributed to high\-impact initiatives where the goal was not just model development, but delivering measurable business outcomes\. This experience sharpened my ability to bridge the gap between theoretical innovation and production\-grade systems\. I have also co\-authored white papers and mentored aspiring data scientists, with a focus on helping others navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and emerging technologies\. Currently, I am building Dots\-In, where we are redefining how technology understands human behavior\. At Dots\-In, we are developing a behaviour\-first AI platform that goes beyond traditional language models\. Our approach is centered on creating Human Digital Twins powered by our proprietary Large Behavioural Model \(LBM\), enabling systems to interpret not just language, but intent, cognition, and context\. Our mission, "Connecting the Dots of Human Intelligence," reflects our belief that the next frontier of AI lies in deeper human understanding, not just better prediction\. If you are interested in exploring how behavioural intelligence can transform human\-machine interaction, decision\-making, and personalization at scale, I would be glad to connect\.
