Ramakrushna M.

When I started my career as a Automation Test Engineer, I never imagined I’d one day be building AI products, leading startups, and mentoring the next generation of data professionals. My journey into data science wasn’t linear—it was full of challenges, mistakes, and valuable lessons that shaped who I am today.

I have worked full time at Accenture, Chegg, and Intellipaat. I completed my Master’s in Data Science from IIIT‑B. I’m currently the founding ML Engineer at a healthcare startup, collaborating with a team of four across different parts of the world to build a meaningful product.
Beyond my full-time roles, I build products independently—including an e‑learning platform, Growtechie, where the focus is on knowledge over certificates. I’m also working on an AI data analytics platform (in development) and a platform for mental health and student support. Previously, I was selected as CTO of the Indian logistics startup Transit Terminal, where we prepared to scale operations with upcoming investment.

I believe data science is more than just models and code—it’s about solving problems, telling stories with data, and building tools that make a difference.
