Sai

I'm a 2nd time founder, exploring ideas in Enterprise SaaS - Industrial AI and Robotics, i believe the future is going to be dominated by domain specialised AI especially that is touching the physical world. I'm a technologist, have deliberately chosen to work my career around startups (as i find them far more fascinating than a conventional big tech role), been doing this for 11 years in my career now! I was working in the domain of Search before i founded a data intelligence company (Spoonshot - acquired). Especially the areas/ideas at the intersection of business, technology and fundamental sciences (ex: physics, chemistry) excite me. You may ask why "fundamental sciences", well ... thats an interesting story for the time we meet.
