PhD Student • IIT Madras • AI4Bharat • Mila - Quebec AI Institute

Hello | నమస్కారం | नमस्ते
I am a first second year PhD Student at IIT Madras & AI4Bharat, where I'm advised by Mitesh M. Khapra, Pratyush Kumar and Anoop Kunchukuttan. I'm also a visiting researcher at Mila - Quebec AI Institute working with Rahul Aralikatte
My research interets are aligned towards Multilingual learning for creating Language Models, Machine Translation and Speech Recognition Models. One of the primary goals of my research is to develop data and models for under-resourced languages and make NLP techniques accessible to a much wider audience. Released IndicBERT, IndicTrans and IndicWav2Vec as part of this initiative.
Feel free to check out my resume and drop me an email if you want to chat with me!
