Prof. Ganesh Bagler

As a teenager, Ganesh Bagler aspired to be an astronomer. Trained in physics, computer science, and computational biology, he has had an adventurous journey from astronomy to gastronomy.
Prof. Bagler is known for the pioneering research in ‘Computational Gastronomy.’ By building keystone data repositories, algorithms, and applications, he has established the foundations of this emerging data science that blends food with artificial intelligence.

Innovative research from his lab has contributed to this niche dealing with food, flavors, nutrition, health, and sustainability. Prof. Bagler has an audacious dream of transforming the global food landscape by making food computable. Deeply rooted in the research from his lab, the Computational Gastronomy APIs enable restaurants, FMCG, and F&B industries to deploy digital solutions.
