About

The Evolution of Semiconductor Materials (especially with focus on SiC/GaN and Photonics) has become a Strategic topic for top economies of the World. Rahul is a passionate technocrat and the founder of multiple companies focusing on the growing demand of Semiconductors and Quantum evolution. Taking his first startups from 0 to 2 mn EUR recurring revenue has given him huge opportunities/learning into building Smart Manufacturing solutions for Automotive Electronics & Semiconductors industry, Super Fast Supply Chains, and Use of AI in Manufacturing for Automotive Applications. Offering is to make data-driven Engineering decisions in increasing the yield, reducing DEFECTS/ENERGY, optimizing manufacturing processes and Supply Chain to increase profitability and sustainability. Accorded with MIT GSW and Web Summit Dublin awards for innovation and product launches, he continues ideating new products and solutions in the space of Smart & Efficient Manufacturing. He is very fascinated towards creating value and simplifying complex manufacturing supply chain processes via AI. Understanding new cultures by learning new languages is an interesting area for him, professionally executed projects in Japanese and German languages apart from Hindi and English. His hobbies are Trekking, playing Volleyball and TT, Reading, and ​Debating. He likes to participate in Triathlon and Marathons.
