Kodishala’s story begins not in the dusty haats of India, but in the sterile, air-conditioned corridors of Goldman Sachs. A graduate of BITS Pilani with a master’s in Financial Engineering from Columbia University, his first job was predicting market volatility.
Dr. Kodishala has engaged in complex statistical modeling—such as mediation analysis—to understand how RA triggers cognitive decline. In a prominent study examining the impact of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease on dementia risk , he and his team broke down the structural pathways of brain injury. Through the neuropathologic evaluation of tissue, his work demonstrated that cerebrovascular damage frequently serves as the mediating link between chronic, uncontrolled joint inflammation and neurodegenerative outcomes. 3. Autoimmune Vulnerabilities During the Pandemic
The research demonstrates that systemic inflammation doesn't just damage cartilage; it drives accelerated atherosclerosis and blood-vessel degradation. Chanakya Kodishala
Digital lending in India suffers from high first-party fraud (users who never intend to pay back). Kodishala led the development of a that reduced fraud rates by nearly 40% in one of his previous ventures. By mapping how multiple loan applications came from the same IP address or shared contact lists, the system flagged suspicious clusters before a single rupee was disbursed.

Published in The Journal of Rheumatology , this population-based cohort study is one of his most cited works. The research aimed to identify risk factors for dementia in RA patients and has been discussed in subsequent correspondence.
