Being Fearless Award

Q4 2021

Literally week 2 on the job. That is when Ravisha stepped in as the full-time DM at a Fortune 500 client. He worked with a very challenging client and environment to build a new C4E and rescue multiple struggling 3rd party projects. When new IT leadership joined and put MuleSoft on the list of products that should go, Ravisha stepped forward. He rebuilt and shared the case for the value MuleSoft is delivering as both a product and in professional services. This completely turned around their perceptions, rescuing an at-risk customer. The projects he is directly leading have been hailed as examples of how agile should be done on all projects, not just integrations. …Oh did I mention the 10 CSAT. …and even more, on top of all this he finished all 6 weeks of his onboarding, including all certifications without missing a beat.

FoodHub Order Analysis

Exploratory data analysis on 1,898 food delivery orders across 178 NYC restaurants. Answered 17 structured business questions to drive marketing, operations, and revenue strategy.

Net revenue$6,166

SLA breach10.54% orders >60 min

Top restaurantShake Shack $3,579

▼

Business Problem

FoodHub aggregates orders from multiple NYC restaurants via a single app and wants to understand demand patterns to improve customer experience and profitability
Dataset: 1,898 orders · 9 features · order_id, restaurant, cuisine, cost, day, rating, prep time, delivery time
Goal: Answer 17 business questions through EDA and recommend actionable improvements

EDA Approach

Univariate: Count plots for cuisine type and day-of-week distribution; histograms for order cost and delivery time
Bivariate: Boxplots of delivery time vs. rating; pointplots of cost vs. prep time by cuisine
Correlation heatmap: Numeric features to identify cost–prep time relationship
Revenue calc: Tiered commission model — 15% (≤$5), 20% ($5–20), 25% (>$20)

Key Findings

Top cuisines: American, Japanese, Italian dominate; Vietnamese and Spanish have lowest order share
Weekend effect: Significantly higher order volume; weekday mean delivery 28 min vs. weekend 22 min
Rating gap: 39% of orders left unrated — major feedback blind spot
Promo eligibility: The Meatball Shop (4.51), Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken (4.33), Shake Shack (4.28) qualify

Conclusions & Recommendations

10.5% of orders exceed 60-min SLA; negative ratings spike above that threshold — prioritize logistics optimization
Launch weekday lunch combos and office-delivery discounts to close the weekday engagement gap
Loyalty program with personalized offers using order history to retain high-frequency customers
Share detailed feedback reports with partner restaurants to help reduce prep time

NatyaVibe — AI Guru for Bharatanatyam

An AI-powered virtual learning platform for Bharatanatyam — India's classical dance form — that gives students real-time pose feedback between classes using computer vision, with a 40+ mudra library and voice guidance in 5 languages.

Mudra library40+ with cultural context

Languages5 (EN, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada)

Live atnatyavibe.vercel.app

▼

The Problem

Bharatanatyam students attend class once or twice a week — the rest of the time they practice alone with no feedback on posture, hand gestures (mudras), or stance (aramandi)
Traditional learning depends entirely on an in-person guru; there is no scalable way to get technique correction between lessons
Goal: Build an AI guru that fills that gap — camera-based real-time correction, structured curriculum, available anywhere, anytime

Core Features

Real-Time Pose Correction: Camera-based pose detection gives instant feedback on adavus (basic steps), mudras (hand gestures), and aramandi (foundational stance)
40+ Mudra Library: Step-by-step tutorials with cultural stories and iconographic context for every mudra
Multilingual Voice Guidance: Instructions in English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada — meets students in their native language
ISTD-Aligned Curriculum: Grade-based learning path following Indian Society for the Preservation of Eastern Arts standards
Dual Roles: Shishya (student) and Guru (teacher) modes with separate dashboards
Daily Check-in: Mood and energy tracking personalizes the day's session length and intensity

Learning Journey

Foundation: Learn from your Guru — structured lessons with theory, Sanskrit terminology, and technique breakdowns
Practice: Rehearse with AI Guru — camera-on real-time feedback sessions with progressive unlock
Perfect: Master the art and get certified — ISTD-aligned grade assessments
Onboarding selects school affiliation, experience level, and language preference to personalize the path from day one

Why I Built It

A deeply personal project — Bharatanatyam is a living tradition that has been passed down for centuries entirely through the guru-shishya relationship; I wanted to see if AI could extend that reach without replacing the human teacher
A practical application of computer vision and multilingual AI to a domain that mainstream EdTech has never touched

Precision Agriculture · IoT · AI/ML Passion Project

DigiFarm — AI-Powered Precision Agriculture Platform

A cloud SaaS + IoT platform that uses computer vision, drone imagery, satellite data, and real-time sensor analytics to transform how farms and lawns are managed — giving every grower access to expert-level plant health intelligence on demand.

Market opportunity$11.2B smart ag by 2022

TAM75M US homes + 570M global farms

Breakeven<1 year per farm unit

▼

The Problem

Farmers and homeowners lack real-time access to the agronomic expertise needed to optimise plant health — leading to overwatering, fertilizer waste, missed pest/disease events, and yield loss
Traditional agriculture is reactive: problems are visible only after damage is done
Service providers (landscapers, agronomists, irrigation contractors) are disconnected from the data their clients generate
Goal: Build a data-driven platform that makes precision agriculture accessible to any grower — from a backyard lawn to a 500-acre farm

How It Works

"What should I plant?" — GPS-based crop recommendations using soil parameters, local weather history, and agronomy datasets
"How do I monitor & manage?" — Real-time alerts on water needs, nutrient deficiencies, pest pressure, and disease risk from sensor fusion
Intelligent irrigation: Outdoor camera feeds → computer vision zone detection → automated irrigation triggers based on moisture and visual health signals
Disease & pest detection: Image processing pipeline identifies weeds, fungal disease, and pest damage from drone and camera imagery before symptoms become visible to the naked eye

Technology Architecture

Data ingestion: Soil sensors (moisture, pH, nutrients), rain/weather stations, outdoor cameras, drone imagery, satellite imagery — all feeding a unified cloud data lake
AI/ML core: Anomaly detection, pattern recognition, and BigData analytics for plant health trend modelling; recommendation engine generates actionable alerts
Computer vision: Weed detection, disease classification, irrigation zone mapping from visual inputs
Cloud SaaS platform: Multi-tenant, real-time dashboard with service provider network integration — agronomists and contractors see the same data the farmer sees
Roadmap: Phase 1 (residential lawn) → Phase 2 (parks & commercial) → Phase 3 (large farms) → Phase 4 (government & satellite scale)

Origin & Context

Conceived and developed through Nokia's internal intrapreneurship program — advanced to Seed Gate Phase 2 out of hundreds of submissions, validating the business case with market analysis, financial modelling, and a working prototype
Draws on a rare combination: 16+ years of enterprise software engineering and 5+ years of personal farm management — the builder and the user are the same person
Identified Nokia's existing global telecom infrastructure and device ecosystem as a distribution moat no pure-play agri-tech startup could replicate
Projected $120M annual revenue at 1.2% US market penetration with 58% margins — built the full business case from first principles
