Hi, I’m a passionate researcher in Robotics and AI. Previously, I have worked with Dr. Andrew Melnik (University of Bremen) and Prof. GC Nandi (IIIT Allahabad) on Embodied AI. I received my undergraduate degree from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, India.

I am broadly interested in building general purpose robots that can adapt to new tasks and environments. In particular, I’m interested in addressing the data bottleneck in building foundational models for robots (using all the available data modalities, especially egocentric and exocentric videos), scaling VLA models for long horizon tasks and Humanoid wholebody loco-manipulation.
