Summary
Vikrant Sahu is an AI Research Scientist with 11 years of experience building production-grade ML and NLP systems across fintech, financial services, and pharma from Bengaluru. He specializes in LLMs, RAG architectures, and ML infrastructure, and has translated research into revenue-impacting products—e.g., a 2–3 year LTV forecasting system (MAPE ~8.8%) and a RAG chatbot that handles 5,000+ documents with ~90% efficiency. His work blends pragmatic engineering (Pyspark/Databricks pipelines, vector DBs, low-latency RAG with P95 <1s) with responsible AI practices like SHAP-based interpretability and causal uncertainty estimation. Vikrant has led small teams to deliver measurable business gains—incremental revenue uplift and CAC reduction—while streamlining deployment of open-source LLMs using Fastchat/LangChain. Notably, he pairs deep modeling expertise (BERT, LSTM, counterfactual analysis) with product sensibilities from prior roles in analytics and BI, enabling fast iteration from prototypes to robust production services.
