Summary
Kaustuv Debiswas is an MIT-trained AI entrepreneur and founder-CEO who builds mission-critical embedded vision and RF sensing platforms for defense and security, focused on delivering indigenous, deployable systems across India's extreme environments. With 20+ years of experience shipping machine learning products—from co-founding VibrantData (acquired by Rakuten) to leading product innovation at Rakuten Intelligence—he blends deep research pedigree with hands-on product execution. He now leads FieldX and Conveh Advanced Systems to commercialize multi-spectral image fusion, edge AI, and telecom-based passive drone detection for real-world border and infrastructure protection. Comfortable operating across R&D and deployment, he designs for constraints engineers often ignore: extreme temperatures, limited connectivity, and ruggedized edge hardware. A longtime collaborator with policy and research institutions, he also brings an uncommon focus on translating academic AI into field-hardened capabilities that directly serve soldiers on the ground.
