Talks & Communities

“

Every stage I've stepped on. Every room I've built.

Forty-plus talks. Three communities I run. A few more I belong to. The plot is simple, build the rooms I get to learn from.

Talks

Seven years of mics, slides, and the occasional plot twist mid-demo.

AI · Accessibility

Beyond Transcription

Voice apps built for the 20 percent of the world that speech models keep mishearing. Make machines actually listen, pacing, hesitation, repetition treated as meaning instead of noise. A blueprint for neurodivergent-first voice interfaces, end-to-end.

AI · Open Source

Open Source Accelerating AI

AI didn't accelerate because models got bigger. It accelerated because they got open. A look at how shared weights and public checkpoints rewrote who gets to build infrastructure, and who gets to use it.

Search · GraphRAG

Your Search Is Broken, And You Chose That

One real query, five search methods, five different ways to be wrong. BM25 to GraphRAG, benchmarked live. A decision matrix you can take home, not a feature tour.

The ones I run. Ideation through the after-party, every detail in between.

and growing

Built on a hunch that tech meetups don't have to be only for engineers. So this one's for the DevRels, PMs, designers, founders, and the people who think the best part of any conference is the hallway. North India's fastest growing GDG, now in its fourth year of monthly hallways.

Other Communities

The communities that shaped me. The rooms I keep coming back to.

community

Flutter Delhi

Speaker, mentor, and the person you tag for a last-minute Flutter chat. Hot reloads, sharp panels, and a community that ships side-projects faster than it ships opinions.

community

Hack Club

One of India's first Hack Clubs, a peer-to-peer learning crew that handed me a MacBook for shipping a build, a Summit to host in Delhi, and a community surrounded by the best teenage engineers in the world. Builder energy, fully caught.

community

MLSA

Three years as a Gold Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador. Runner-up at the Imagine Cup, workshops at multiple Imagine Camps, and a spot on the Microsoft India Summit. Met the mentors who still pick up the phone.
