YarnChain is a personal, non for profit initiative from Arun Rajagopal.
In Arun's own words: "As the founder of YarnChain, I bring over a decade of technology leadership experience and a deep passion for the transformative power of data. My career has been marked by a dedication to driving innovation through artificial intelligence and machine learning, delivering value across a range of organizations, from academic institutions to tech companies.
My journey began with the honor of being recognized as a Child Scientist by the Government of India at the age of 14 for a data analysis project. This early experience fueled my lifelong passion for data and its potential to revolutionize how we live, work, and make decisions.
Over the years, from working part-time at prestigious institutions like Anna University and IIT Madras in the brain imaging domain to my current role as a Senior Director of Engineering, AI, Search, and Ads at AdMarketplace, I have consistently strived to bring data-driven insights to the forefront. My contributions have been featured in market insights reports, news articles, and I have co-authored several industry-relevant articles.
At YarnChain, I am channeling this passion and expertise to build a comprehensive open data ecosystem, advocating for enhanced data transparency and sharing from businesses. Our vision at YarnChain is a world where access to non-privacy data is a fundamental right, fostering innovation, empowering individuals, and fueling societal progress.
In this AI era marked by data, compute, and creation abundance - and walled gardens, I am committed to creating an open and inclusive data landscape. I welcome collaborations and contributions that help push the boundaries of our understanding and use of data for a better future.
