About Me
IIT Bombay · NLP research · Now building AI systems in Berlin.
Hello, I'm Jigar Makwana
I did my dual degree in Computer Science from IIT Bombay with a focus on NLP, working under Prof. Pushpak Bhattacharya. I published at ACM CODS-COMAD 2023, then moved into industry — Nuvento, Tiger Analytics, and now Bryo in Berlin, where I build AI systems that understand human language.
Outside work I'm into photography, fine arts (I was Kaladarshan Overall Coordinator managing 12K+ footfall exhibitions), design (Institute Design Convener), and volleyball. The shift from India to Germany has been a big part of my story — it's shaped how I think about building products and working with people.
