Three things ran in parallel this year, and each one made the others better rather than competing for the same hours.
SCULT INDIA
As GenAI Engineer alongside Saksham Gupta and Raman Shukla, and mentored by Gaurav Gupta, we shipped paid production products and built SCULT Studio to run our own operations — with our first team meet, a Diwali gathering in October 2025, marking the point where it stopped feeling like a side project.
TechVerse Enclave
The community I founded in 2023 crossed 500+ developers and 200+ mentored students this year, mostly through consistent, unglamorous sessions rather than any single viral moment.
NextUpgrad
Between February and July 2026, I independently designed, built and shipped five production AI applications end to end — RAG, fine-tuning, computer vision, document intelligence, and OCR/speech — each with real deployment, tests and observability.
What ties the three together
Every one of them is the same underlying habit applied at a different scale: scope tightly, ship something real, and tell people about it honestly, including the parts that didn't work.
Where this started
GenAI engineer and AI product builder with 2+ years shipping production-grade AI systems: RAG pipelines, fine-tuned LLMs, hybrid retrieval and multi-modal apps across vision, speech and OCR, architected end to end from ingestion to deployment. Leads engineering for SCULT INDIA's 14-member team, founded the 500+ member TechVerse Enclave community and has mentored 200+ students. Three hackathon first prizes: Changethon 2025 (IIT Roorkee), Product Genesis at Vividhotsava 2025 (CSJMU Kanpur) and BYTEBATTLE (MeetKats).
Open to GenAI roles, hackathon judging, mentorship sessions and guest talks at colleges. Email pranjulrathour41@gmail.com.
