AI IMPLEMENTATION EXPERT · FOUNDER, NEURAMONKS · SPEAKER

I've spent 13 yearsteaching machinesto think.

Since 2012, one belief has driven me: AI, built right, changes how the world works. From data I labelled by hand to on-prem models inside governments and enterprises. Scroll to live the story.

SCROLL TO BEGIN
Skip the journey →
It began with data I could hold in my hands.
2012 · THE FIRST SPARK

It began with data I could hold in my hands.

On my professor's dissertation, I gathered physical data by hand, then digitised and annotated every sample. The patient work of turning reality into something a machine could read. That discipline still shapes how I build.

Then I taught it to learn, by hand.
2012–13 · THE ENLIGHTENMENT

Then I taught it to learn, by hand.

I implemented backpropagation from scratch in C & C++. The night a network corrected its own mistakes, I knew this would reshape the world. I've chased that conviction ever since.

I built first.
~2015 · THE LEAP

I built first.

Work took me to Singapore for mobile app development, shipping real products across borders. Hands-on engineering that would shape everything I taught next.

Teaching owners to build their apps.
2016–17 · THE FIRST SESSIONS

Teaching owners to build their apps.

I began running mobile app development sessions for business owners and startup founders who wanted to build their own apps. Turning their ideas into real products was my first step into consulting and speaking.

Three minds. One conviction.
2019 · NEURAMONKS IS BORN

Three minds. One conviction.

With my two dissertation partners I founded Neuramonks. We started where the hard problems lived, computer vision and NLP, and shipped intelligence that earned its place in production.

We'd already chosen our ground.
2022 · THE GPT ERA

We'd already chosen our ground.

When GPT went mainstream, we were already deep in open source. That head start became our edge: on-prem models that keep data sovereign for government and enterprise.

01 · WHO I AM

One man on a mission to implement AI for real-world problems.

Upendrasinh Zala

I'm Upendrasinh Zala. Across 13 years I've lived the full arc of modern AI: from hand-labelling data and writing backpropagation in C++, to deploying on-prem models trusted by governments and enterprises.

I founded Neuramonks and build across multiple ventures, working where deep technical capability meets real adoption: AI that actually moves the numbers.

My promise is simple: AI implemented properly, owned by the people who use it, and measured by the difference it makes.
