Summary
Manish Chandra is a Data & Applied Scientist at Microsoft Advertising with nine years of experience building and productionizing ML models for candidate relevance, ranking, and CTR prediction. He combines strong academic training from IIT Kharagpur with hands-on roles across industry—from Huawei and Fusemachines to research-adjacent teaching assistantships in algorithms and deep learning. At Microsoft he focuses on the full ML lifecycle (training, testing, deployment, monitoring) and has recently begun applying generative deep learning to natural language generation. Comfortable bridging research and product, he has practical experience in both model engineering and operationalizing at scale. Early consulting work with UNICEF Nepal shows a capacity to apply technical solutions in low-resource, real-world settings. Based in Bengaluru, he brings a measured mix of academic rigor, production experience, and curiosity about generative AI.
