Sourabh Patravale
Hey hi. I'm Sourabh. I live in Bengaluru. I run operations and build internal tools at Lossfunk (an AI research lab). Before that I started a spice brand called Stoa, and before that I was an analyst at KPMG.
I'm curious about pretty much everything in our universe. These days I find myself occupied with neural networks, philosophy, evolution, history and economics, and building interesting projects using AI. I also love good movies and mental models which can help me make better decisions in life.
I write about my learnings on X (@whyloop_) and post my art and photography on Instagram.
What I'm up to these days
- Building internal tools at Lossfunk to automate myself lol.
Btw I have already automated half of my work.
- Running my own momentum strategies in Indian and US markets every week.
- Drawing, painting, photography, travelling and building interesting side projects on weekends.
A few things I have built recently
- Son of Anton: a Slack bot that acts as Lossfunk's second PI. It reads researchers' updates and suggests next experiments.
- Lossfunk compute: Lossfunk's entire compute infrastructure, across 6 providers (AWS, GCP, OpenAI, Sarvam, JarvisLabs, OpenRouter).
- One-click GPU launcher: a system to launch GPUs with one click.
- Slack backup: syncs 80+ Slack channels into dated folders on AWS S3.
- Reimbursement automation: Lossfunk's entire reimbursement flow, automated end to end. Invoice collection, file naming, data extraction and the mail to the finance team.
- Lossfunk directory: a searchable directory of everyone at Lossfunk.
- Weekly sync and paper reading bots: they collect nominations, assign slots and ping people on Slack.
- Fun planner: recommends fun things to do over the next 2 weeks, based on my interests, yearly objectives and what I've done so far.
- Molt bot: posts philosophy on its own. It started coming up with genuinely interesting ideas.
That's about it. I like talking to curious people. If you're building something interesting, reading something good, or have anything worth chatting about, say hi. I reply to everyone.
