Welcome to Pradyot Bathuri's Portfolio

Hi there—welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Pradyot Bathuri, a Bangalore‑born engineer‑slash‑creative currently juggling studies in Intelligent Systems Engineering at Indiana University and Marketing at Royal Holloway, University of London, with side quests in Accounting and VFX/UX Design. If that sounds like a lot, that’s because I’ve never believed in choosing between my left and right brain. I’m fascinated by how code can tell stories, how design can influence human behaviour, and how business can drive social impact.

My journey began on the skating rink and badminton courts of Bangalore (yes, I’m competitive on and off the field).

By 2023 I was co‑founding Kary & Mark, a start‑up that helped local businesses stand out with creative advertising and pulled in five high‑paying clients and $10k+ in revenue within six months. I’ve since interned at Kaura Infra where I upped revenue by 60 %, served as a Perplexity Brand Ambassador promoting ethical AI and represented my peers in IU Student Government and on the Union Board. Along the way I’ve learned that listening is just as important as speaking—whether I’m planning a campus lecture, coding a prototype, or chatting with community members to improve infrastructure.

Outside of work and study I’m a polyglot, amateur filmmaker, and enthusiast for anything that gets people moving—be it a hackathon, a dance floor or a pair of roller skates. I believe the next wave of innovation will come from people who aren’t afraid to mix disciplines and perspectives, and I intend to be part of that wave. Thanks for stopping by—if you have a project that needs a dash of engineering, a sprinkle of creativity and a cup of coffee, let’s talk! - - pradyotbathuri, The tech blog, Artificial Intelligence
