Agentic AI · Enterprise systems · Product
I'm Sidharth Sahu. Over the last decade, I have worked across language technology, document AI, speech systems, HRTech, open network protocols, and enterprise automation. My work has mostly focused on turning complex, judgment-heavy workflows into products that can be used, measured, and improved in real-world use cases.

Below is a body of work shaped by learning, adapting, and moving with the field: from symbolic AI to predictive systems, then to generative AI and agentic workflows.
Quess Corp · Enterprise brain + agent fleet
Conceptualised and architected an agentic operating system where supervised AI agents support functional outcomes across sales, HR, operations, and finance.
Computer vision for deployed workforce
Built a sub-20MB computer-vision model that audits uniform and grooming standards across 5,000+ fuel stations and reports to a live dashboard.
Last-mile employment, built at the village
Designed a last-mile employment service where village entrepreneurs help their neighbours find work. Over 600 are active today.
Anchor partner · India's first federated jobs network
Led Hamara into ONDC's Jobs domain as anchor partner of India's first federated, interoperable jobs network.
Saudi Aramco · Planning-document intelligence
Developed an analyser that flags ambiguity and scope creep in dense Arabic project plans, pairing deterministic engineering with a fine-tuned LLM.
NeuralSpace · Arabic document intelligence
Pre-trained an Arabic document-understanding model from scratch when off-the-shelf systems fell short.
NeuralSpace · Arabic speech intelligence
Added word-level timestamping to Arabic speech, aligning every word to the moment it is spoken.
NeuralSpace · Multilingual video PaaS
Engineered a multilingual video-localisation platform with voice cloning and a creative AI canvas that cut ABS-CBN's turnaround by up to 60%.
Reverie · Low-data NLU for voice actions
Shipped a deep-learning NLU engine for voice actions to over 3 million devices, reaching about 99% accuracy from only a handful of examples.
India's first AI-powered translation marketplace
Built India's first AI translation marketplace, which preserved complex document formatting where general-purpose engines flattened everything to plain text.
22-language Indic typing platform
Created a 22-language Indic typing platform, adopted by the Odisha government.
Operating thesis
Good AI products do not ask an enterprise to change how it works. They learn how it already works, then lower the cost of running it.
01
Map the human workaround
02
Turn judgment into controlled workflows
03
Measure execution, risk, and drift
Consulting
Advisory for teams building AI systems, automation programs, HRTech products, agentic workflows, and enterprise operating layers.
Advisory call
A direct conversation about where AI fits in your operations, and where it does not yet.
