• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. Identity is supported (LinkedIn profile 'anish-sevekari' showing CMU ACO PhD and CMI BS, matched to the IMO contestant record for Anish Prasad Sevekari, India, 2013/2014 bronze). The claimed actual employment is NOT confirmed by any primary source: the Voleon Group 'Member of Research Staff' role appears only in index/aggregator material (The Org crowdsourced team page, RocketReach, Unifers, and a self-reported Google Scholar email field) - none is a company statement, resume, offer letter, or press item. The Jain Global 'Quantitative Research Intern' (2025-01 to 2025-03) appears only in the caller-provided index lead with no corroborating source found. Employer classification: The Voleon Group is a systematic machine-learning hedge fund (quant investment, confirmed by its own site and Wikipedia); Jain Global is a hedge fund (quantitative trading, confirmed by its own site and Wikipedia) - but classifying the employer does not confirm that this person worked there. Because actual employment rests only on index-derived data, the verdict is UNRESOLVED rather than CONFIRMED or NOT CONFIRMED; no student program or incoming offer substitutes for actual employment.
• Won a bronze medal for India at the IMO in both 2013 (196th, 63.0%, 18 pts) and 2014 (163rd, 71.1%, 21 pts, Cape Town); the ISI Bangalore 55th IMO report lists 'Anish Sevekari, Pune - Bronze Medal' on the 2014 six-member Indian team.Jul 13, 2014
• Math/CS researcher: author on 'Robust Subspace Approximation in a Stream' (with Roie Levin, David P. Woodruff) and on NeurIPS 2023 Spotlight work 'Robust Symmetry Detection via Riemannian Langevin Dynamics' with Dhruv Rohatgi, Chirag Pabbaraju, Holden Lee, Ankur Moitra, Andrej Risteski; scholarly output aligns with the research-staff profile.Jun 2023
• PhD (Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization) from Carnegie Mellon University; BS in Mathematics and Computer Science (Honors) from Chennai Mathematical Institute, per LinkedIn profile enrichment.
• Listed as a Member of Research Staff in The Voleon Group research department on The Org's team page.
• Identified in press as a Pune student at Abasaheb Garware College selected, with Chaitanya Tappu, to represent India at the IMO for a second consecutive year (2014).
• Voleon's own site describes it as applying machine learning and 'rigorous data-driven techniques to financial markets' in investment management, and Wikipedia describes it as a systematic machine-learning hedge fund - so the employer is genuinely a quantitative investment firm regardless of the role's confirmation status.
• LinkedIn directory shows a headline of 'GenAI @ Kodiak Robotics' for a Pittsburgh 'Anish Sevekari' also tied to The Voleon Group; this conflicts with the research-staff current-company signal and is unresolved, so no single current employer is asserted.
• A confirmed-email Google Scholar entry lists 'Anish Sevekari - The Voleon Group (confirmed email address: voleon.com)', which corroborates a Voleon affiliation through a self-reported profile field rather than a company statement.
• CMI team (Sreejata Bhattacharyya, Rajat De, Anish Sevekari) qualified for the ACM ICPC World Finals, May 2017 - a competition milestone, not employment.
