Creating
a dent
in the universe.

I'm Skannd.

I wrote my first program at six. Built my first robot at eighteen. By the time I finished my Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University and a specialisation in Alternative Energy at Stanford, I had already started a company.

That was not the plan. It was just what happened when you find a problem that needs solving and no one else is moving fast enough.

Today I run five companies across artificial intelligence, counter-drone technology, SaaS, deep tech incubation, and digital transformation. My work has taken me to the stage at SPIEF in Saint Petersburg, to the BRICS Innovation Forum in Moscow where I shared a stage with two Nobel Laureates, to Army procurement rooms in Delhi, and to 180 MBA students in Kolkata on a Tuesday afternoon who needed to understand what AI was actually going to do to their careers.

I am based in Kolkata and Delhi. I work everywhere else as needed.

What I actually do.

I build companies. Mould Innovation has operated across 20 countries since 2013, working with clients from ATK Mohun Bagan and Pernod Ricard to the Government of West Bengal.

Vedaska Ventures builds counter-drone detection systems currently in procurement conversations with the Indian Army and Central Armed Police Forces.

Wow! Circle is a live AI relationship intelligence platform.

Starshot Ventures incubates deep technology companies.

I also speak. On AI strategy, on the ethics of autonomous systems, on what ancient civilisations figured out about technology that we keep having to relearn. Two TEDx stages. SPIEF 2022 and 2023. The BRICS Innovation Forum. The Oberoi New Delhi. Chambers of Commerce. University auditoriums. Boardrooms.

And I consult. One hour, paid, no preamble. The details are on the Consult page.
