We want to use Krayen’s platform engineering, data, and AI/ML expertise. 5C Network CEO Kalyan Sivasailam said, “We’re building an intelligent, powerful platform to accommodate a billion scans every year. Krayen’s ability to handle massive amounts of data and deliver insightful information will help 5C achieve this. Bargava Subramanian, Krayen’s cofounder and CEO, says 5C Network is building India’s most important digital resources.
Our expertise in AI, ML, deep learning, and data engineering is essential to improving diagnostics.”
We have experienced delayed, incorrect, and inactionable diagnosis as a team. He said that since Krayen shares 5C’s vision and objective, we’re more motivated than ever to reach this goal.
