About
I am a senior data scientist with over five years of industry experience, driven by a constant desire to learn, grow, and deepen my understanding of the field. This curiosity pushes me to stay closely connected with academia alongside my professional work, enabling me to bridge strong theoretical foundations with real-world problem solving.
​
This intersection of industry and academia shapes my belief that learning should be engaging, concept-driven, and research-oriented—not limited to exam preparation, but focused on developing deep understanding and long-term thinking.
​
Through my venture, Scholar ML, I mentor and coach students for GATE Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, enabling them to build strong conceptual foundations and achieve outstanding results, including top national ranks.
Students Testimonials
Kunal Gupta
PHD @ IISc Banglore
I was mentored by Deval for multiple subjects of GATE DA such as Probability and Statistics, Machine Learning, AI algorithms, DSA.
The one thing that stands out in his teaching and mentoring is the conceptual depth he possesses on core areas of Mathematics such as Probability and Statistics, Optimization among others and his ability to explain a single topic from multiple approaches which creates a solid foundation for learners. While tackling complicated subjects like Machine Learning and AI algorithms, this approach becomes the life saver for the learners.
Apart from mentoring the subjects the other traits about him that stand out are his absolute humility and his willingness to support and help students by taking extra classes and doubt sessions. Deval sir simplifies tough concepts by implementing amazing visualization tools which I think puts the learning right in the leagues of renowned channels such as 3 Blue 1 Brown.
​
I think mentors like Deval sir is a boon for the student community who wish to learn complex concepts of Machine Learning and AI not only because of their subject matter expertise (which is undoubtedly top notch) but also his caring and nurturing attitude towards students.
