Launchpad.ai adds Dr. Mohan Mahadevan, Former Head of Computer Vision and ML at Robotic Applications, Amazon, to its Advisory Board
Launchpad.ai, a leading AI services and solutions company, announced today that Amazon’s
former Head of Computer Vision and Machine Learning (Robotics Applications) has joined their
advisory board. Mr. Mahedevan has spent most of his career applying AI technologies for the
semiconductor, robotics, fintech and now insuretec domains, specializing in machine learning,
deep learning and computer vision applications for these industries.
In addition to Mohan’s experience in deploying commercial applications, he has authored
several research papers and has architected advanced parallel model-building pipeline
infrastructures that accelerate research and training timelines. The breadth of Mohan’s work
has also led to over 25 patents.
“Mohan’s experience allows him to analyze complex AI models and embeddings and
immediately understand their structure and how they can be improved,” comments Arshak
Navruzyan, founder and CEO of Launchpad.ai, “in addition, Mohan’s deep understanding of
these technologies will help us think strategically about ways in which AI can bring value to the
brands and customers we serve.”
“It’s exciting to see the broad adoption of AI based applications across every industry, but there
is still so much untapped value for companies to extract,” said Dr. Mahadevan. “When I look at
the hurdles for enterprises to scale up AI based solutions, it usually comes down to making the
right investments in data, infrastructure, applied science talent, and having a company-wide
understanding of building and deploying production grade AI applications. Companies attempt
to treat the problem of AI scaling in the same way as the well-established practices for
enterprise software products but this requires a different approach and a different set of
practices. Launchpad.ai addresses these problems through their strategic AI development
services and, as importantly, providing enterprise training and upskilling programs that help the
entire organization learn how to think of scaling and deriving value of AI for their applications. I
have seen this first-hand working with Launchpad when I was the Senior VP of Research at
Onfido.”
Mohan Mahadevan, in his advisory capacity, will guide Launchpad on its solution portfolio and
provide thought leadership to clients and partners. Dr. Mahadevan will also help Launchpad.ai
enhance its Upskill™ training program for industry professionals through new content and
resource direction.
