Summary
Jidhu Valappil is a technology leader and CTO with eight years of experience building AI-driven products across healthcare, industrial, and financial domains. Currently steering DigiDxDoc’s tech vision, he secured a DST-Nidhi Prayas grant and integrated generative AI into automated pathology workflows while designing scalable end-to-end diagnostic platforms. His prior roles at IBM, Siemens, and Bosch span lead data science and research engineering, delivering low-latency AI on IBM Z, explainable diagnostics for factories, and predictive control systems for cement kilns. He combines hands-on model development (LSTM, attention, KG/NLP, ONNX) with product-level MLOps and hardware-aware deployments. Founder of Elite AI Club, he mentors engineers and forges academic and clinical partnerships to translate research into regulated medical devices. Colocating deep industrial AI experience with startup grit, he’s as comfortable tuning production inferencing on mainframes as prototyping novel biomedical scanners.
