Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikhil Shaw is a data scientist with nine years of experience building production-grade machine learning systems, currently focused on recommendation engines at Pratilipi in Bengaluru. He has driven measurable business impact—boosting subscription purchases by 33% and story read completion by 25%—while owning end-to-end pipelines from data collection to deployment and monitoring. His work blends practical ML engineering (CI/CD, API serving, edge deployment) with responsible AI practices, including diversity, bias, and fairness in recommender systems. Previously at TCS he delivered vision models and a patented OCR solution, operating high-throughput serving (15k req/hour) and mobile edge inference with >90% accuracy. He pairs product-minded experimentation (AI story generation and text-to-video tooling that cut costs and cycle time dramatically) with hands-on mentoring of junior data scientists. Based in India, he’s driven by a goal to build the best recommendation system in the world while keeping solutions scalable, efficient, and ethically aware.
