Background

About Gaurav Baid

A deep learner who has an unquenchable quest for new experiences; a passionate consumer behaviour student who believes in starting with WHY; a wanderer at heart who seeks out adventure sports; an out and out entrepreneur who got business acumen handed down to him in genes are what describe Gaurav. In his entrepreneurial journey at Avataar Gaurav has set out to deliver meaningful & delightful enhancements to visual experiences by deploying 3D Computer Vision and AI technological advancements of Avataar’s proprietary platform. He believes that the way in which end consumers are discovering products today will undergo a massive transformation with software and hardware evolution in the current decade and wishes for Avataar to play a major role in this. His passion for the consumer tech space started with his role as a tech investment banker at Deutsche where he became part of boardroom discussions of leading internet companies and learnt about building products at scale. Gaurav loves to multi-task which could be seen at Avataar where he dons hats of a consumer thinker to a product manager to an RoI outcomes driver to an integration architect as the scenario demands. It was also evident when he completed his CA degree while studying at FMS for his MBA. If Gaurav is not building Avataar then he could be found on the football field or planning his next exploration. He desires to imbibe nuances of local cultures from different parts of the world and eventually foster a nurturing ecosystem for the next generation.
