Making better doctors!

Driving the roadmap & strategy for * Transcoding (cloud VOD, cloud Live, containerization for on-prem/cloud deployment of live services) * AI-enhanced video processing (frame-rate upconversion, super-resolution, virtual ad insertion, etc.)

* Leading Product Marketing and Product at Visionular Inc - a pioneer in AI-driven video transcoding. * Our award-winning video compression technology (AVC, HEVC, AV1) beats the competition by a mile - thanks to the heavy use of AI (especially, Convolutional Neural Networks) and allows easy adaptation to the videos genre, complexity, texture, and bitrate requirements. * Message me for a free trial and reduce your costs by 30% or more.

+ Founder and Editor of OTTVerse.com - an OTT tech & business publication. + I continue to edit articles on OTTVerse, while I work with Visionular on Product and Product Marketing.

+ Reporting directly to the CEO of Airtel Digital, I led two teams - IQ Video and Revenue Subscription Services. + At IQ Video, my team designed and built Airtel's B2B video SaaS platform (ingest, transcoding, video processing, storage, CDN, delivery, curation, data, analytics, apps, monetization, and more). It's currently being used within XStream Play and other video-dependent services in Airtel. + In the Revenue & Subscription Services platform product team, we focused on building subscription-layer products for use within Airtel's Digital Entertainment products (Xstream Play, Wynk, and IQ Video). This included subscription services, coupons, deals, zero-INR trials, integrating with Google & Apple payment backends, and working with payment platforms.

+ Multiple hats: Product Manager, Sales (Pre & Post), Operations, and Customer Support for all clients and prospects and instrumental for key accounts across the US, LATAM, and EU. + Improved SmartSight across QoE, Ad Insights, Audience, and Content Insights. + R&D to implement fundamental changes to the QBR Quality Metric, making it cross-resolution compliant and usable for Live streaming.

+ Worked on the H.264/AVC and HEVC codecs at the Princeton R&D office. + Some algorithms I worked on are Adaptive QP, Deblocking, SAO filter, Q-Pel & Half-Pel ME. + Built the entire 4:2:2 10bit pipeline for H.264/AVC and the Interlaced pipeline for HEVC.

+ 14 industrial control projects needing a complete redesign of the existing control system (petro, chemical, cogeneration, sugar, power) during my two-year stint at Yokogawa India Ltd.

* Research on Stereo Vision, Depth Map Processing, Multi-View Video Plus Depth Transcoding. * Published 14+ papers.

* Built a block-based unidirectional distributed video codec for resource-constrained devices. * Presented my research at PCS 2010.

* Graduated top of my class and 9th rank in the university (among 900+ students). * Designed and fabricated a fully automated potentiostatic coulometer for my thesis.
