Co-Founder & CEO, Prezent AI | All-in-One AI Presentation Platform for Life Sciences and Technology Enterprises

One word that sums up my life? Gratitude. I cracked one of India's hardest tech schools, wrote code for Microsoft, and scaled the corporate ladder at Cisco, eventually leading a team of 1000+ as one of the youngest Senior VPs. But here's the kicker: I still felt something was missing. That's when I had an epiphany. Great business communication is the game-changer, yet the secrets are not well understood and inaccessible to many. So, why not democratize it? My wife Deepti kicked off this vision with a services company called PREZENTIUM, turning draft presentations into masterpieces overnight. The company exploded—serving 100+ enterprise clients, validating our concept, and gathering valuable metadata. With our findings, I quit my 7-figure Cisco gig, invested $1M of our own money, and founded Prezent.ai. A gamble? Sure. But, guided by Jeff Bezos' "Regret-Minimization Framework," it was a no-brainer. And the journey has been spectacular. We raised a $4.3M seed round, and snagged a $20M Series A right before the Ukraine crisis hit. Now serve 100+ Fortune 2000 companies with over $40M raised. But there's more. Beyond business, my vision is holistic. I aim to be a "Complete Man"— integrating my roles as a CEO, husband, son, father and spiritual being. Because what's the point of success if you can't be whole? My current success metrics: → Lived the American Dream, from $800 in my pocket to a house in Los Altos, CA. → A loving family that supports my dreams (son Sameer (12), daughter Deeya (8)). → A mission to democratize business communication, backed by both grit and venture capital.
