"The Institute instilled in me an appreciation for innovation
that has now become a signature of Eightfold AI. It was at IIT
Delhi that I was first introduced to machine learning. Three
decades later, it's clear that this early exposure empowered me to
become a leader in AI, and in particular the impact this technology
can have on people and their careers. Today, we are committed to
providing career pathing in the generative AI world to more than
ten million people by 2030," said Ashutosh
Garg, Co-CEO and Co-founder at Eightfold AI.

time managing Search and Personalization efforts at both Google and

founders who have created two unicorn organizations, a testament to
his exceptional contributions to the tech industry and his impact
on the global workforce.
