About Utkarsh Sarawgi

I hold a Master’s degree from MIT with a focus on interdisciplinary AI and have ~7 years of hands-on industry and research experience. I come from a highly diverse, interdisciplinary background, where adaptability has been a core strength throughout my career.My experience spans Hyperloop, robotics, HCI, digital health, accessibility, and large-scale consumer AI. The unifying thread has been fundamental and applied research, multidisciplinary science, and machine learning for solving ambitious, high-impact, real-world problems. I’ve led multiple end-to-end machine learning and research initiatives in close collaboration with cross-functional teams at MIT and Apple. I’m now applying this experience to financial and economic systems, where extracting signal from noisy data, reasoning over time, and building robust, measurable ML pipelines are core challenges. I thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary environments that value first-principles thinking, and enjoy working on problems that combine strong engineering, research rigor, and real-world impact.
