Chanukya Patnaik

I’m an entrepreneur, problem solver, data scientist, and marketer. I’m passionate about Education, and AI, and I love solving meaningful problems that make a positive difference.

Currently building DPhi – a thriving 100K+ global AI community on a mission to educate and build AI for all. We are very humbled to have a great community who enjoy learning, sharing knowledge, and love giving back – most importantly they inspire us and push our limits to do better 🙂

My passion for education was inspired by my mother – a teacher, and a single parent who started her profession to educate her kids and make ends meet. I was brought up with the philosophy that education can positively change one’s life and the people around them. This is one of the primary reasons why we at DPhi never saw education as a commodity but as a means to a better future. As a result – all our learning resources/courses are made available for free for anyone to access.

Previously, I have led high-impact lean teams across various startups and enjoyed building communities. I enjoy interacting with students and communities to exchange ideas and share knowledge and am humbled to have been invited to be on a jury or speak at the University of Texas El Pasco, KU Leuven, IIT Bombay, Halodoc, World Data League, etc.
