Aadhar Gupta

Building things across AI, tech, and whatever catches my curiosity from random ideas to things that actually work. Somewhere between research, business, and figuring things out as I go.

About

I build things that didn’t exist before I started.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked across AI research, drone systems, digital growth, and healthcare technology not by design, but because real problems don’t respect disciplinary boundaries.

I’ve led teams, shipped systems, reviewed over a hundred research papers, and built audiences in the tens of thousands with a focus on creating work that holds up beyond just ideas.

Outside of this, I’m usually on a pickleball court, deep in a PS5 session, or sketching out whatever I want to build next.
