Krishnam's Profound AI Rep
BITS Pilani, where he led the entrepreneurship society and built his first student venture.

Krishnam Gupta
Experience

Learnings: UPI growth & retention, NLP based text to sql, user calling and everything credit score. Burned enough dollars on Cursor to graduate from “use SOTA for everything” to actually orchestrating open-source models and agent harnesses.

Worked with the sharpest folks in the EV ecosystem and occasionally understood what was going on. Learnings: ECNs, 4680, vehicle lifecycle planning, strategic ambiguity and how not to look confused when someone says “BOM cost optimization.” Was asked to do it full-time, so apparently I looked less confused than I felt.

Acquired by Rogo AI Learnings: RAG, Embeddings, SEO & UK Companies House. Also, enterprise sales is pretty hard!

Partnerships, Growth, Analytics & Product. Now Acquired.

I write about EVs, AI, VCs and philosophical musings
VC life: Coffee, conviction and mythical animals. Read every a16z blog, BVP roadmap, and startup deck that mentioned "AI" at least 3 times. Learnings: Sector research, AI trend mapping, and how to pretend to understand LLM infrastructure on the first read.

Learnt that enterprise AI is less “just call the API” and more observability, RBAC, cost panic, latency panic, and interoperability nightmares. Spent most days around GTM, enterprise sales, MCP, AI Gateway, and RAG systems that actually have to survive production.

Asia's first & largest student-led VC fund.
Orchestrated ESG and gender diversity insights into actionable outputs, meticulously curated for impact and presentation. TL;DR Made documents look 'pretty'.

I get to collaborate and learn from the smartest minds I know. Currently busy building product and talking to users.

Everything RLHF

My first experience with student-entrepreneurship and an attempt at building something from scratch. Missed classes and tests to build something with a clear value-proposition and impact.


Got first-hand experience of the workings of a VC firm. Met some amazing founders while scouting and evaluating deals.

Got a chance to meet and connect with some really amazing people. My first experience with building a team, ideating strategy and leading campaigns.

ABGIF is a corporate VC under the banner of Aditya Birla Management Corporation Private Limited (ABMCPL) - the apex decision making body that provides strategic direction to Aditya Birla Group Companies.
