Imagine a world where cutting-edge technology teams up with unyielding passion to take on the biggest challenges of our time. That's where I come in. I'm Ayon Roy, and I'm not just about crunching numbers and lines of code.

I'm on a mission to leverage the extraordinary capabilities of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence to tackle the pressing issues of sustainability and climate change.

What truly fires me up is the idea of using AI to tackle sustainability and climate-related challenges. I've had my fair share of adventures in the world of Data Science, AI, and ML, having hopped through various internships. Right now, I'm proudly wearing the hat of an Executive Data Scientist at NielsenIQ, where I get to channel my passion into meaningful projects.

However, my journey doesn't stop at my day job—I'm deeply involved in giving back to the community. I spend time mentoring hackathons and boot camps, helping budding tech enthusiasts find their way.

When it comes to speaking, I'm no stranger to the stage. I've stood in front of audiences around the world, delivering over 70 technical talks at international and national conferences, as well as meetups. From India to the USA, Ireland to Nigeria, and even Japan, I've taken the stage physically and virtually, adapting to different formats and keeping the crowd engaged.

But I'm not just about speaking; I'm also a firm believer in hands-on involvement. I've mentored over 100 hackathons, collaborating with prestigious institutions like John Hopkins School of Medicine, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IIT Madras, and Delhi University. It's my way of giving back and nurturing the next wave of innovators.

One of my proudest achievements is organizing India's First Kaggle Days Meetup in Delhi NCR, a platform that brings together minds hungry for knowledge and collaboration. And yes, I also indulge in reviewing technical books because staying ahead of the curve matters to me.

Mohammad Oli Ahad, Founder and CEO of Intelligent Machines Limited, aspires to build practical AI-powered solutions for our country with his strong local team.

After completing his BBA from the Institute of Business Administration at the University of Dhaka in 2006, he joined British American Tobacco as a Territory Officer in trade marketing. 3 years later, he joined BAT’s regional IT team as a Business Analyst - Asia Pacific, Marketing. He led a number of global and regional projects for 25 countries including Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea—some of the most advanced technological environments.

While working to implement state-of-the-art technologies in those markets, he grew a deep urge to build technology solutions from scratch for Bangladesh where we largely adopt tools made for developed countries and then try to force-fit them for the local market.

In April 2018, he started Intelligent Machines. Their first product, Retail AI, went live nationally on October 2018—and, the MFS market-leader bKash Limited is using it ever since for merchandising activities in all their 300K active outlets in the country at present.

The team is currently also working with several other large organizations to build AI products in retail, FMCG, banking, and non-banking finance industries.
