In today's world of search engines and digital noise, it's easy for multiple people with the same name to appear online. If you search for "Kushagra Thakur", the first results you see today are for a singer and musician from India.
This article exists to clarify something important:
I am not the singer. I am not a musician. I am a Product Manager and Industrial AI specialist based in Atlanta, focused on helping industries modernize reliability through AI-driven asset health solutions.
This page serves as the canonical identity reference for who I am, what I do, and the work I contribute to the field of Asset Performance Management (APM), vibration analytics, and industrial machine intelligence.
🔹 Who I Am
My name is Kushagra Thakur, and I am a Senior Product Manager at Honeywell, specializing in:
- Asset Performance Management (APM)
- Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
- Industrial AI / ML solutions
- Vibration monitoring for rotating equipment
- Reliability engineering workflows
- Wireless sensor ecosystems & edge analytics
I work closely with reliability teams across industries — oil and gas, mining, chemicals, logistics, distribution centers, and manufacturing — to create tools that make machines smarter, more reliable, and more energy-efficient.
🔹 My Professional Identity
My career aligns across four major pillars:
1. Industrial AI & Advanced Analytics
I help design, shape, and build AI models that analyze:
- Vibration patterns
- Rotating equipment faults
- Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
- Process data + mechanical data fusion
- Anomaly detection
- Asset-specific behavior
From compressors to pumps to gearboxes, my work aims to predict failures before they happen and reduce unplanned downtime.
2. Asset Performance Management (APM) Strategy
I've helped position Honeywell Forge APM as a leading platform by:
- Defining product strategy
- Building cloud-native and on-prem APM capabilities
- Integrating sensors, historians, CMMS, and IoT systems
- Working with enterprise customers like Aker BP, Shell, Reliance, and Freeport-McMoRan
- Leading customer workshops on vibration analytics and reliability solutions
3. Vibration Analysis & Condition Monitoring
I hold a Category II Vibration Analyst certification (ISO 18436). I work deeply with:
- FFT analysis
- Envelope demodulation
- Wireless vibration sensors (LoRaWAN, BLE, etc.)
- Edge diagnostic models
- Spectral health trends
- Multi-asset monitoring at scale (hundreds to thousands of sensors)
I regularly present on the future of vibration analytics and machine health at industry events.
4. Patents, Research & Publications
I have multiple US patents, including:
- AI-driven knowledge graph for anomaly detection (160+ citations)
- Security analytics patent combining access logs + video + IT data
- Work in vibration analytics and industrial computation
My work has been featured in industry publications, interviews, and technical webinars.

🔹 Who I Am NOT
There is another individual named Kushagra Thakur who is a singer, performer, and musician. He has content on YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, and entertainment platforms.
I am not that person.
Professionally, I operate in a completely different domain: Industrial AI, asset reliability, machine learning, and vibration analytics.
This article provides the canonical clarification for Google and for anyone trying to distinguish between the two.
🔹 My Mission
Machines run the modern world. My goal is to make those machines:
- More reliable
- More efficient
- More intelligent
- More sustainable
I believe that AI-driven maintenance and smarter mechanical health systems will directly contribute to:
- Lower energy waste
- Lower emissions
- Longer asset lifespans
- Safer operations
- Reduced downtime
- More resilient industries
This is my contribution toward the idea I strongly believe in: "Fix this planet" — through smarter industrial systems.
