Manuj’s journey into AI started 20 years ago when he bought his first AI book from a roadside shop in Old Delhi. Ever since he followed the road less traveled and believed in doing things differently by taking risks on innovation and emerging technologies.

In the last 20 years, Manuj has championed 2 startups - including India’s first AI and game programming school in 2006 viz. S.A.G.E/KODE Academy, lead, consulted and coached many businesses, academia and individuals in India, Singapore and Indonesia in emerging technologies such as (Serious) Games, Simulations and his latest love - Data Science. Manuj is a self-taught lifelong-learner who believes in a hands-on approach to technical management and leadership.

When he is not playing with Data or his daughter, he loves to play retro video games, research emerging technologies, study probability and statistics, analyze risk markets and trade.

Manuj is an Indian national who can speak Hindi, English and Coding.
