"I founded VDO.Ai in 2018 to provide world class, avant-garde technology that will empower businesses in driving engagement and monetization. VDO.AI is a one-stop innovator in the digital ad space, empowering web publishers to tap the potential of video content.

My venture enables advertisers to make targeted ads and earn more value on their spends, boosting their monetization by up to 50%."

It works with 1200+ web publishers and has been running branded video content from 5500+ premium advertisers and streams over 15 petabytes of rich video content every month at minimum latency.

Some of the top brands that it is associated with in the Silicon Valley and in India include Airbnb, Netflix, Uber, and Indian publishers like Jagran, India TV, Patrika, Deccan Herald, The Hindu, Scroll Media, etc.

The teen prodigy scaled new heights in his business with unimaginable opportunities knocking at his doorstep, those that one may not have dreamt of. "I had the opportunities to work with the best in the technology space, names that I could never have imagined, even as my peers were giving entrance exams and making career choices. I worked as an innovator - Space apps at NASA wherein I invented a smart space glove that senses EMG motor neuron activity from natural hand gestures. I also consider it a privilege to have worked with professors and students from MIT Media Lab on innovating solutions.
