GTM, Founder’s Office at Deccan AI
About
I'm atulyap, currently in GTM and the Founder's Office at Deccan AI, where we provide pristine human-annotated data to top AI labs and big tech companies. My career has been a multidisciplinary journey—from hospitality and writing to logistics at Amazon, then corporate strategy at Centific—embracing diverse roles like 'collecting all the pokémon.' I'm passionate about how elite human expertise drives AI breakthroughs and believe AI built without people falls short. I focus on AI model training, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop systems, and I'm here to connect with technical professionals, researchers, and domain experts in the AI space.
