Manan Shah

AI research engineer

I am Manan Shah, a visionary AI/ML research engineer and co-founder of Global Fusion, a pioneering startup dedicated to developing cutting-edge AI solutions for self-automated computer systems. With over 3 years of experience spearheading innovations in neural architecture design and computer vision, I am driven by a passion for translating theoretical breakthroughs into tangible value through strategic cross-functional collaborations.

My journey began with a strong academic foundation from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, where I earned a Master of Science in Physics while being honored with the SII Academic Scholarship and Global Scholar Fellowship. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Physics from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University as a two-time gold medalist in athletics and an Honors Program participant.

Complementing my formal education, I have relentlessly pursued certifications to expand my multi-disciplinary expertise across Data Structures & Algorithms, Computational Neuroscience, Deep Learning algorithms, Mathematical Modeling, and Computational Fluid Dynamics. This diverse knowledge allows me to approach challenges from unique vantage points and craft innovative, holistic solutions.

As an acclaimed researcher, I have authored publications delving into areas like AI-driven chatbots for learning enhancement, ethical design of user-centric NLP chatbots, and numerical techniques for solving partial differential equations. My work continues to push boundaries and advance the frontiers of knowledge in these critical domains.

It was my pivotal role as a Patent Researcher Intern at EDUNEURO that provided the spark for co-founding Global Fusion. There, I spearheaded the development of groundbreaking web-based document analysis platforms, leveraging NLP to identify missing information with over 95% accuracy. My algorithms streamlined processes, suggested quality improvements, and saved thousands of hours in overhead costs.

Driven by the immense potential I witnessed, I co-founded Global Fusion with the vision of pioneering self-automated computing solutions that harmoniously blend artificial and human intelligence. As the technical leader, I have pioneered projects like CaptionWiz, which uses state-of-the-art Transformer models to generate engaging AI-generated narratives for images, boosting engagement by over 40%.

My Image Manipulation System showcases our prowess, achieving an 87% accuracy rate in detecting doctored visuals. Additionally, I have developed cutting-edge deep learning algorithms using spiking neural networks for multi-class image classification and fMRI data analysis.

At Global Fusion, we leverage my deep technical skills spanning machine learning techniques like image processing and NLP, tools like PyTorch and TensorFlow, API scripting, programming languages like Python, R, SQL and web frameworks like Django. Our team is committed to pioneering optimized and implementable modeling techniques that drive tangible organizational success.

I am buoyed by an unwavering belief that self-automated AI systems will create opportunities, not obsolescence, by augmenting and complementing human capabilities. As a co-founder, I am committed to responsibly developing these transformative solutions in alignment with human values and priorities.

With my innovative mindset, entrepreneurial spirit, and deep technical expertise, I am leading Global Fusion in ushering in a new era where artificial and human intelligence cooperate symbiotically. The implications of self-automated computing are vast and untapped - and I am dedicated to pioneering intelligent systems that open new frontiers for humanity.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
