BENGALURU – Dr Sushovan Das has not extracted a tooth in over a year now, but the 28-year-old dentist has found a way to deploy his medical training in “a richer, more adventurous way”.
The resident of Howrah in eastern India works at iMerit, a global artificial intelligence (AI) company in technology and data solutions established in 2012, where he joined after a brief stint as a dentist at a clinic left him creatively dissatisfied.
