About Hrishikesh Bhaskaran

As the VP of Engineering at Entri, I lead a team of developers in driving innovation within the education industry. With over 7.5+ years of experience in this role, I have developed core competencies in strategy, engineering, and product management, delivering solutions that enhance learning outcomes and accessibility. I am also an active contributor to the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing initiative, where I have gained expertise in language computing and free software development. Through this initiative, I have collaborated with various communities and government agencies, such as Mozilla, Wikimedia, KITE, SCERT, and ICFOSS, to promote open source technologies and digital literacy. Additionally, I am involved in the PeARS Project, a groundbreaking initiative to build a decentralized, peer-to-peer search engine that respects user privacy and autonomy.Besides my professional pursuits, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and insights through college sessions and TV discussions, covering topics such as the latest technological advancements and their societal impact. I also enjoy exploring my creative side and was privileged to write the additional screenplay for the 2023 Malayalam movie \'Neelavelicham\'.
