At the recent India AI Summit, Raul shared his passion for technology and emphasized the importance of fully embracing it. A largely self-taught innovator, Raul began his journey at the age of 12 when he built his first robot. Since then, he has developed over 10 AI tools and provided advisory services to the governments of Kerala and Dubai on integrating AI into public services. Raul is also the founder of AI Realm Technologies.
His achievements have earned him speaking engagements at major technology companies and invitations to international conferences. Notably, he attended the 2026 India AI Summit in New Delhi, where he met influential figures such as Amandeep Gill, the UN Special Envoy for Digital and Emerging Technologies, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres. During the summit, Raul delivered the opening address at a UN-organized panel discussion focused on AI and children’s safety.
Raul’s interest in technology began with video editing, a passion sparked when his father got a job at Adobe, giving Raul access to premium tools. This led to the creation of his first robot, MeBot, for a school science project. Inspired by his success, Raul later founded his own company to bring together the tools he had created under one brand. He also developed a payment system that allows users to make payments through QR codes, making transactions more accessible for people without credit or debit cards.
Among his AI innovations is the Rescue AI tool, which helps individuals in emergency situations by offering legal guidance and connecting them with lawyers. He also launched ThinkCraft Academy, a platform that offers free courses on AI, helping millions of people build their own AI tools for daily life.
Raul’s decision to hire his father, a former employee of Amazon, Adobe, Wipro, and IBM, was driven by his desire to learn from his father’s wealth of experience. Raul also views this as an effective marketing strategy for his business.
Through teaching, Raul emphasizes the importance of using AI while maintaining humanity. He encourages his students to embrace AI but not forget their human qualities, as he believes that being human is the most crucial skill in an AI-driven world. Looking ahead, Raul envisions a future where he can provide for his family while continuing to create tools that make life easier for people, all while learning from the West.
Summing up his journey, Raul offers two key pieces of advice: remain humble or risk being humbled, and follow your passion rather than the pursuit of money, as success will naturally follow when passion is at the forefront.
