About

I’m Anuran Roy. I build systems that work outside of demo environments. Now doing the same at Alchemyst AI as a co-founder and CTO.

No corpo/AI slop allowed on this website. Whatever you read, is written and/or edited by me.

What I love

What I’ve done so far

The journey IS the destination

Yep, that’s what I follow. I’ve been a journeyman throughout my learning arc - never been someone to concentrate on doing one thing for life.

I contributed to AI4Bharat’s Shoonya at IIT Madras, an annotation platform spanning 22 languages that powered India’s Bhashini initiative. I worked at Google DeepMind and at CloudSEK, where I applied AI to cybersecurity. I built EdgeChains at Arakoo, a framework later absorbed into Spring AI. I completed an AI Safety fellowship by Impact Academy, focused on Mechanistic Interpretability.

Each of these taught me something specific. AI4Bharat showed me what building for Indian languages looks like at national scale. DeepMind gave me depth at the frontier. CloudSEK put AI in production against adversarial data. EdgeChains taught me that developer tooling is where leverage lives. All of it feeds into what I’m building now.

Stack

Technically, whatever gets the job done. I’ve stopped counting tech or stacks that I’ve learnt so far.

And honestly, in the age of AI, it doesn’t matter either.

I debug training failures at checkpoint 2400 and trace Redis connection exhaustion from crash-looping processes. The stack is whatever the problem requires.

Research

Four papers published:

• Mitigating Hallucinations in LLMs Using Sieve of Fallacies and Truths (SoFT): A Game Theoretic Perspective - A Game-theoretic framework to reduce hallucinations in LLM-based systems.
• SerpyTor - A distributed context-aware computational graph execution framework for durable execution (arXiv)
• Is a Large Context Window all you need? - Exploring TTFT-context size tradeoffs in autoregressive LLMs (engrXiv)
• Oscillating Activation Functions - A survey on oscillating activation functions and recent progress (engrXiv)

and around 13 more that haven’t been published yet.

Personal

I’m on the autism spectrum with ADHD. I compensate with explicit frameworks, documented processes, and a preference for building over meetings.

India-born, worldwide-based. I track nutrition, train with a bulking goal, and attend electronic music festivals when I can get away from the terminal.
