Viral Parekh is a Principal Data Scientist based in Bengaluru with a decade of experience building ML-driven product solutions for ecommerce and large-scale platforms. He has progressed through technical roles at Flipkart—focusing on catalog quality, enrichment, and competitive enablement—and now leads similar initiatives at Meesho, blending research rigor from his IIIT Hyderabad MS with pragmatic production delivery. His background spans both research and embedded software—from Samsung telephony bring-up to CV and Kinect projects—giving him a strong systems-first perspective on data problems. Known for translating complex catalog and QA challenges into scalable models and pipelines, he combines cross-functional leadership with hands-on experimentation and deployment. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he began his career on low-level telephony stacks, which influences his meticulous approach to robustness in ML systems.
