Vaibhav Dobriyal Dobi describes himself as an entrepreneur, consultant, implementer, and business-value creator. He’s fascinated by how AI and other technologies are cracking the code to solve some of the biggest problems we face today.
Dobi first encountered a curious term as a student in the early 2000s: neural networks. This complex web of algorithms would later power everything from recommendation engines to self-driving cars, but he didn’t pay it much attention then. He dismissed it—until 2013, when big-data analytics made its presence felt. At the time, data was “the new oil,” an opportunity to break through to bigger discoveries, while AI remained in a more embryonic state. Only later did Dobi and his colleagues realize the scale of disruption data and AI could bring. They were, as Dobi puts it, “innovating at the edge of what’s possible.”
