What my clients say

It is very rare to find a guy like Karthik, as my own directs. I had the pleasure of working with Karthik for almost two and half years at the mRoads, specifically while managing the AI team. Though a leader in the AI world, Karthik's ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. In the field of AI (Be it ML or DL or specifically NLP) world, Karthik is undoubtedly a leader in these field. His great analytical thinking and keep working on the filtered the results really stands out among others. In almost all AI technologies/Big Data or as a data scientist Karthik's work is really recommendable. For any problem, working on multiple Algorithms and also generate his own ideas and Algorithms is really appreciable. Karthik, would be a true asset for any positions requiring AI/DL/NLP or any other form of data analysis, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
