Warp raised an $18M Series A

10 years ago, I was sitting in a small town in India with painfully slow internet.

That’s when I found out I had been accepted to MIT. Fast forward a decade: today I’m back on campus – this time as a founder/CEO, sponsoring HackMIT with Warp. And I’ll be giving a talk about the journey from that moment in India → to MIT → to building a fast-growing startup in NYC.
