Hi, I’m Nitesh.

IIT Delhi graduate and Technology & AI Lead at the Bharti Institute of Public Policy, ISB Hyderabad. I build production-grade AI systems across computer vision, voice AI, geospatial intelligence, and retrieval-augmented architectures.

I take ML from research to deployment, alongside applied research in GNSS positioning and AI for public policy.

Working on something interesting? I’d love to hear about it.

I’m always up for conversations with people working on vision, geospatial, or agent systems — research collaborations, product builds, or a problem you’re stuck on.
