Waterloo and Google taught me engineering, while my journey to world championships in skydiving taught me human nature, high performance and leadership. I'm an explorer at heart and love the questions: "is it possible?" and "can we do it?"
Saurav
The trifecta of my last 10yrs journey: 'Healthy' with Healthify, scaled across borders, pushed past operational limits. 'Wealthy' via CRED, delivered 9% returns & viral reach. 'Wise' at Akaike, built and deployed intelligent agents for enterprises using LLMs. That's the gig. Build the future, faster and brighter.
