Anuran Roy
Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Alchemyst AI
About
I'm Anuran Roy, Co-founder and CTO at Alchemyst AI, where we're making the AI Cyberspace personalized. My journey started with bootstrapping a content website and has evolved through numerous software engineering, data science, and machine learning roles, culminating in my current focus on building contextual voice agents. I'm passionate about solving what I see as the core bottleneck in AI adoption: context, not model size. I believe India is uniquely positioned to lead the Voice AI revolution, and I'm actively building community around this vision. I offer deep technical insights into contextual AI and Voice AI, and I'm looking to connect with customer success professionals, sales development reps, and creative storytellers who can help scale our mission, as well as fellow builders and researchers in this space.
