Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSrikanth Chekuri is a seasoned AI and machine learning leader with 12 years of experience building production-grade, low-latency ML systems and founding startups that bridge research and applied products. He co-founded AppliedRoots, scaled it into a successful acquisition by Scaler, and later led Data Science and ML programs as Senior VP to teach and mentor 40K+ learners worldwide. At Amazon/A9 he engineered extreme-scale deep learning and NLP systems, and has hands-on expertise in semantic search, cheating detection using webcam+deep learning, and aspect-based sentiment models. A lifelong tinkerer and teacher based in Hyderabad, he combines product-first instincts (customer-backwards design) with rigorous technical depth from IISc and startup learnings. He is currently focused on "AI for social good," applying practical ML to high-impact problems while continuing to build and mentor teams. Not obvious from titles: he’s learned to prioritize product-market fit through a hard-earned startup exit and a willingness to make tough business tradeoffs.
