Dr. Ashish Das is a famous mathematician of India and a large part of the regulatory framework in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, particularly for setting benchmarks in quantitative rates, is due to his work as a data scientist and mathematician for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). He also assists Google in solving some challenging algorithmic problems along with his research team at Stanford University.
