Building the Future with AI | ex-Google | Engineering Coach
I am the CTO and co-founder of a responsible GenAI startup that is looking for AI and fullstack engineers to join our founding team. With over seven years of experience as an engineering leader at Google and a mentor and coach at CapitalG, I have a deep knowledge of machine learning and AI, and a passion for driving innovation and impact through technology.
At Google, I led the development and launch of Smart Suggestions for messaging apps and media recommendations, and the integration of Google Assistant for cars, delivering revenue-generating business outcomes for customers and enterprise partners.
I also mentored and coached engineers from CapitalG portfolio companies, and helped them grow their skills and careers. As an AI enthusiast and an aspiring entrepreneur, I am committed to empowering humans to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to improve their daily lives. I am also a graduate of Stanford University's LEAD program, and hold a PhD in Computer Systems Engineering from UMass Amherst.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

Co-Founder, Digipple
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
