A free knowledge platform built by a researcher, for real people.
200+ articles on AI, finance, photography, careers, and more โ written from experience, not theory. Plus a free Android app and three free AI courses.
Founder, Sharan Initiatives
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.
A decade of research, engineering, and building things on the side.
Biomedical Engineering โ applied deep learning to medical image segmentation and diagnostic AI.
Built production AI systems for radiology and pathology โ from prototype to clinical deployment.
Leading ML R&D for medical AI products. Also teaching, writing, and building side projects.
Started the site to put everything I know in one place, freely available.
Released the Android finance app and the free Deep Learning fundamentals course.
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.
Free articles and guides across diverse topics โ all from direct experience.
Deep learning for radiology, diagnostic AI, and the state of AI in clinical settings.
Writing clear documentation, API guides, and technical content that actually gets read.
Resume strategy, interview prep, and honest career development advice for tech and beyond.
Budgeting, saving, and smart money management โ backed by the BudgetCycle app.
Composition, technique, equipment, and the craft of visual storytelling.
Book reviews, reading habits, and creative writing across genres.
Ethical leadership, workplace culture, sustainability, and responsible business.
Everything on this site is free. Start with the blog, try a course, or download the app.
