While most AI strategists come from software backgrounds, Saumya’s foundation is in Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Science. This unique perspective allows her to view AI not just as code, but as a critical infrastructure component. Whether she’s optimising healthcare workflows or driving digital transformation, her approach is rooted in the high-stakes rigor of national-importance projects.

Saumya stood 1st in the Student Championship of the Global Management Challenge, outperforming 920 teams from India's top colleges. This ability to navigate complex business simulations is a direct reflection of her current work at Google, where she helps organisations move past the "AI hype" to build sustained revenue growth through optimised product lifecycles and Agile methodologies.

A Gold Medalist and an ESCP Business School alumna, Saumya also brings a rare "Luxury Marketing" lens to technology. By studying consumer behavior, she developed a sharp eye for the human-centric nuances of product design translating the same into AI strategies that don't just solve a technical problem, but enhance the end-user experience, ensuring that digital transformation feels like a value-add rather than a disruption.
