Cofounder and CPTO at TheWeddingCompany.com
Rahul likes to build things, take challenges and execute them. He finds happiness and intellectual satisfaction in solving technical puzzles. He holds a Masters in Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). During his academic tenure, he worked with two professors: Prof. Seth Teller — he wrote the first thesis for city scalable navigation system and Prof. Pettie Maes — she invented Sixth Sense with Pranav Mistry. During this program, he developed an interactive and intuitive platform to make complex information — especially science, technology, engineering and mathematics material — truly accessible to blind and visually impaired students by using a tactile (braille) device. This work was recognized by PETRA 2015 conference held in GREECE as most innovative research work in the area of blind literacy. In addition, this work was also awarded the "Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation April-2015" for excellent contribution in the area of Braille literacy. Before joining MIT, he did B.Tech and his first Masters in Engineering from IIIT Hyderabad, India. He was awarded Gold Medal for ranking first and having highest GPA among my fellow batch-mates in Electronics and Communications Engineering dual degree batch. He has also worked in Innopark India, Hyderabad where he developed a first of its kind game engine within the company for an automatic creation of casino slot games.
