Bio for talks

If you need a short bio to introduce me, you’re welcome to modify this.

Anand is an LLM psychologist at Straive. His data stories company, Gramener, was acquired by Straive, where he researches AI and publishes demos. He’s listed among India’s top 10 data scientists and AI influencers and is a regular TEDx/Pycon speaker.

Anand is an alumnus of IIM Bangalore, IIT Madras, London Business School, IBM, Infosys Consulting, Lehman Brothers, and BCG.

More importantly, he hand-transcribed every Calvin & Hobbes strip ever, is addicted to Minecraft & Anime (thanks to his daughter), and dreams of watching every film on the IMDb Top 250 (except The Shining).

He blogs at s-anand.net.

I’m on social media on LinkedIn, Github, Twitter, YouTube.

You may use any pictures of me and here are some:

Logistics

  • Presentation: I don’t have presentations to share. Often, I present interactive demos.
  • Laptop: I use my laptop (Lenovo, Ubuntu, HDMI + USB3) to present. No audio. I need my laptop near the podium to type.
  • Aspect ratio: I can work with 16:9, 16:10, or 4:3 screens. Please check if circles look like perfect circles, not ovals.
  • Internet: My demos need Internet. I can use mobile data but if the venue network is bad, please help with WiFi.
  • Security: I don’t carry ID. If security requires one, I’d appreciate an escort to take me through with my phone and laptop.
  • Attire: I wear round-neck T-shirts, jeans, and open sandals. Please allow this.
  • Recording: I encourage you to record my talk. Please share the recording with me.

Fee / honorarium

  • I don’t charge nor pay a fee for public talks. I only accept dry fruits, Wikipedia donations, or GitHub donations as honorarium.
  • Contact me for corporate / private talks. I share sanitized recordings of my talks publicly.
