Manish Gupta

Manish Gupta is a distinguished leader driving Google DeepMind’s research across India and Japan, passionately committed to building AI that’s both inclusive and impactful. Under his guidance, DeepMind’s India team made pivotal contributions to Gemini 2.5 Flash, a high-efficiency, low-latency model that delivers approximately five times better performance per dollar than its peers.

He previously founded Google Research India, dedicated to powering accessible AI that works on mobile, across India’s linguistic diversity, and in resource-constrained settings. His team spearheaded IndicGenBench, a benchmark covering 29 Indian languages, and developed modules that enable support for over 125 languages, including those with negligible digital presence.

A PhD graduate from UIUC, Gupta has led research efforts at IBM, Xerox, and VideoKen, authored over 75 papers, holds 19 US patents, and is a fellow of ACM and INAE. At DeepMind, he champions technologies like Gemini Nano and Matryoshka model architectures, ensuring AI scales efficiently from supercomputers to smartphones.

Gupta firmly believes that AI should augment human capabilities rather than replace them, empowering billions, especially underserved communities, to access transformative tools in health, agriculture, science, and other fields.
