Dr Taresh Sharan

Founder, Sharan Initiatives

PhD ยท IIT BHUResearch ScientistBangalore, India

Hi, I'm Taresh โ€” a Research Scientist and AI engineer based in Bangalore. I hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from IIT (BHU) Varanasi. My work focuses on applying deep learning to medical imaging: helping machines learn to read X-rays, flag anomalies in scans, and support clinicians with AI-assisted diagnostics. I've spent years building these systems hands-on, not just reading about them.

I've written over 200 articles spanning seven very different topics: AI & Medical Imaging, Technical Writing, Career Development, Personal Finance, Photography, Literature, and Corporate Ethics. Yes, that's an unusual mix โ€” but it's genuinely who I am. I shoot street photography on weekends, obsess over budget spreadsheets, and find myself thinking about narrative structure during commutes.

I built BudgetCycle โ€” a free Android finance app โ€” because the tools I wanted didn't exist. I run three free AI courses because I think the barrier to learning shouldn't be a paywall. Sharan Initiatives is the container for all of it: one place for everything I've learned, freely available, no subscriptions required.

Reach me at support@sharaninitiatives.com โ€” I read every message.

The Mission

Sharan Initiatives exists to put real, experience-backed knowledge in front of people who need it โ€” without subscriptions, paywalls, or filler.

Every article, course, and app here was built because I personally wanted it to exist and couldn't find a good version of it elsewhere. If something here saves you an afternoon of confusion or helps you make a better decision, that's exactly what this site is for.

Explore, Learn, Build

Everything on this site is free. Start with the blog, try a course, or download the app.
