Editorial bio
Ishank Gupta is co-founder of Humyn Labs, which he's building with Manish Agarwal: a research and multimodal-data engine for Physical AI, pulling verified egocentric video, multilingual audio and human-activity feedback from contributors across 20+ countries and 30+ languages to train robots and world models. He's also involved in KGeN, the verified-human network underneath that data stack.
Before Humyn Labs he scaled consumer businesses – including regional leadership at AB InBev in South Asia – did time in consulting at BCG and built across China and other markets. He's an IIT Bombay alum (B.Tech / M.Tech) with an MBA from The Wharton School, and he's active as an angel investor in AI data infrastructure.
Worth following for the SF-side view of the same bet: Physical AI has no internet to scrape, and the real work is standing up the human-signal pipeline that the next wave of models needs.
