Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnkur Shukla is a Lead Data Scientist with nine years of experience building scalable ML systems for quick commerce, retail, manufacturing and pharma, currently driving end-to-end AI across Blinkit’s supply chain and consumer apps. He has delivered production demand-forecasting pipelines, location-intelligence for better delivery SLAs, and rider-focused recommendation engines that directly impact operations and earnings. His background blends deep learning, computer vision and NLP with strong engineering instincts—evidenced by core back-end contributions to the pgRouting library improving Dijkstra implementations and turn-restriction logic. Trained at IIT Bombay (CSRE) and a Udacity deep learning alumnus, he has moved from research and teaching in satellite image processing to production ML at scale. Outside data science he builds React Native apps tailored to Indian users, including a Hindu scriptural reader and a Hanuman Chalisa app in development, reflecting a habit of shipping user-facing software. Practical, product-minded and cross-disciplinary, he combines algorithmic rigor with hands-on engineering to translate complex data problems into measurable business outcomes.
