Hello, my name is
Saksham Kumar
MBA Student bridging AI, Engineering, and Business Strategy
Welcome to my Website!
I am an MBA student at IIM Mumbai with a background in engineering and applied AI. Previously, I worked as an engineer at Eaton for nearly three years, applying data analytics and machine learning to improve product design and manufacturing quality. I hold an M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur and a B.Tech from IIT Patna.
Through my MBA, I am exploring the intersection of AI, engineering, and business strategy, with a focus on structured problem-solving and decision-making. This website is a collection of my projects, writing, and learnings along that journey.
