Summary
Mohit Agarwal is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience and a six-year focus on building large-scale, multimodal recommender systems and content-understanding pipelines. Based in Bengaluru, he has driven measurable engagement gains—most notably at ShareChat where his multimodal embedding work increased engagement, clicks, and video plays by up to 46% and introduced a candidate-generator initialization that lifted engagement by 16.5%. He has end-to-end production experience from low-latency feature extraction for 700K+ daily items to scalable training and serving (Airflow DAGs, ScaNN indexing) across multiple languages and signals. His background spans industry and research, from Jio’s cross-domain knowledge-graph recommendations and local-news personalization to biometric and media-analysis projects during his academic work. Comfortable bridging research and product, he has a track record of cutting moderation costs and duplicate content while designing evaluation strategies (A/B tests, multi-level metrics) that reduce contamination and surface actionable insights.
