Ashwini, along with her husband Anand Chandrasekaran, founded a cloud-based platform Mad Street Den. Her career didn’t start right there though; she began with leading the mobile innovation team at Intel’s Interaction and Experience Research Lab (IXR) in Silicon Valley, one of the places that sprouted her keen interest in artificial intelligence. Similarly, Mad Street Den is building an AI Architecture of the future.
As for Anand, he had just finished his studies in Neuromorphic engineering, which is building computer chips that imitate the human brain at Stanford University. Together this pair of geniuses moved back to India and amalgamated their love for artificial intelligence to start what we know today as Mad Street Den.
MAD is an Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision company. Similarly, Mad Street Den is building an AI Architecture of the future. They use Artificial Intelligence to get any smartphone with a camera to identify faces, detect facial expressions and emotions and react to facialgestures. Ashwini and Anand started MAD with a mission to build models of generalizable intelligence which can be used by billions of people from various industries across the globe.
