The story so far.
Hey there! I'm Saran Bluri (Bodduluri). I'm currently pursuing an MS in Mathematics in Finance at the NYU Courant Institute, sitting at the intersection of quantitative finance, artificial intelligence, and the startup ecosystem.
Since moving to the US, I've thrown myself into the builder community, hitting about 8 hackathons in just the past couple of months. I absolutely love building great products, and talking to people. Right now, I'm channeling that energy as a founder, actively building out my own startup.
My technical foundation stems from a background in CS and Machine Learning from Shiv Nadar University, along with 1.5 years developing statistical arbitrage and systematic strategies as a Quant Analyst at PL Capital and True Beacon.
Whether I'm teaching AI concepts, creating content across YouTube and Substack, or hitting the gym, my core focus is pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We are standing on the brink of a massive shift in how humanity interacts with information and machines, and the potential for positive impact is boundless. I am incredibly honored and excited to be building at this time, and I am fully committed to shaping that future.

Things I've built.
A multi-agent AI simulation platform that eliminates friction in trading news. Features an MV3 Chrome extension backed by AWS Bedrock Nova Lite multi-agent workflow. Ingests live Polymarket odds and multi-source dossiers via Apify to simulate market reactions, executing trades directly via Solana RPC.
A multimodal AI study companion providing real-time, voice-guided coaching for handwritten problem-solving. Uses computer vision to parse math/handwritten input and generates interactive feedback. Combines RAG-based textbook retrieval with an adaptive voice agent.
An AI academic companion integrated directly into Canvas and Ed. Powered by Claude, it provides pre-class lecture priming, interactive slide queries during lectures, post-class quizzes, and uses Linkup to surface relevant campus and NYC events based on coursework.
An AI trading desk for prediction markets that lives inside group chats. A multi-agent system analyzes real-time news, social signals, and market data to estimate edge and coordinate trades. Built on XMTP infrastructure with Polymarket data.
