About Badri Raghavan

I’m a senior AI executive and PhD physicist with 25+ years of experience building and scaling AI organizations across healthcare, mobility, energy, financial services, and research.My work has consistently focused on turning AI from experimentation into durable, governed, enterprise-scale capability tied to real product and business outcomes.At Resmed, I built the global AI organization across the U.S, India, and APAC and lead enterprise AI strategy spanning AI/ML, GenAI, Responsible AI governance, platforms, and talent. I architected ResAI, the company-wide AI/MLOps foundation, and led teams delivering FDA-cleared deep learning personalization, AI health assistants, and clinical workflow products projected to drive $100M+ in new and retained revenue while improving adherence and reducing churn. Previously, as SVP & Chief Data Scientist at Ola, I led AI for one of the world’s largest real-time mobility platforms, building production ML systems for pricing, safety, fraud, forecasting, supply positioning, and fleet optimization under extreme latency and scale constraints. I also served as President of Ola USA, helping establish the company’s U.S. presence and early autonomous driving think tank. As Founding CTO & Chief Data Scientist at FirstFuel, I helped create a category-defining energy intelligence platform using multimodal machine learning and contributed to raising $46M in venture funding. Earlier roles at HNC/FICO, SAS, IBM Research, and startup leadership built my foundation in neural networks, fraud/risk analytics, and mission-critical AI systems. I also advise growth-stage startups and contribute to industry efforts advancing Responsible AI and healthcare AI standards.I’m particularly well suited to senior leadership roles (SVP / Chief AI Officer / GM AI Product) where regulated AI, product strategy, governance, and measurable business impact are central to company strategy.I\'m also the author and host of (AI, healthcare, systems thinking, and applied innovation) https://badriraghavan1.substack.com/profile/posts: healthcare AI transformation, responsible AI, product strategy, AI in aging, and regulated deployment: Essays, podcast episodes, keynote talks, and executive commentary
