Long bio (~280 words)

Aditya Dutt Pandey is a 20-year-old engineer, founder, and CTO from Punjab, India. He is the CTO of Tunai.app — an agentic operating system for end-to-end event management — where he has personally written ~1.5 million lines of code since January 2026, spanning multi-agent orchestration, real-time infrastructure, and the user-facing product.

Aditya is undefeated 11–0 across every competition he has entered: he won Brand Wars at IIT Mandi (a national business analysis and marketing championship, not a coding one), the Innovation Deck strategy competition at LPU, the BHU Hackathon, and multiple startup pitch competitions. Outside competitions, he took over operations at a hotel and grew its revenue by 73% in a single quarter through sales and operational restructuring.

He builds across an unusually wide surface for any engineer, let alone one his age. Veris is a hardware device that mounts on a camera hotshoe and signs each photo's metadata on the Solana blockchain at the moment of capture, killing deepfakes at the source. Sukku is a robot with a custom multimodal emotion-recognition model that combines vision, audio, and contextual signals, and remembers users across sessions. Tunai is the agentic OS he leads as CTO. Kimi is his personal AI assistant with persistent memory across his calendar, code, tools, and life.

His infrastructure work at Tixin (Aug–Dec 2025, the predecessor to Tunai) handled 50,000+ events/sec via Kafka and 16,000+ requests/sec on a Kubernetes cluster running on two Raspberry Pi 5s. He cut DB query latency by 70% and deployment time by 60%+. He has 2 research papers in progress (one under review on RL for healthcare AI), 1 patent filing, and has mentored 100+ students at Learner's Arc. He is currently a B.Tech CSE (AI & ML specialisation) student at Lovely Professional University, class of 2028.
