Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRishabh Mehrotra is a machine learning scientist and founder with 12+ years building multi-objective recommendation and marketplace systems, currently serving as Cofounder & CEO of Pavo AI. He led large ML organizations and product roadmaps at ShareChat and Spotify, shipping 10+ product launches that reached hundreds of millions of users and materially improved long-term engagement metrics. His work spans research-to-production: neural ranking, bandits, counterfactual evaluation, and multi-stakeholder objective balancing, evidenced by 50+ papers and more than 10 patents. A UCL PhD alumnus, he has repeatedly translated academic advances into deployed systems (e.g., playlist and balancing science at Spotify) and taught specialized courses on personalization and decisioning. Less obvious: he combines deep research productivity with operational scale—supervising PhD interns, founding research labs, and leading cross-continental teams to operationalize complex ML trade-offs.
