View profile for Mahesh K.

Co-Founder at Vayu Robotics (AI + Robotics startup backed by Khosla Ventures), ex- Apple , Governors Gold Medalist @ IIT Madras

The journey of creating something, from nothing, has been irresistibly energizing. Today, I am thrilled to announce that my first start up Vayu Robotics has been acquired by Serve Robotics! (NASDAQ: SERV) We went from a nebulous dream of what the world could look like, to completing over 1500 robotic deliveries. At this defining moment as an entrepreneur, my heart brims with immense gratitude to my team, mentors, investors, partners and family. A few special thanks… To my wife, Kavitha, for believing in me, more than I believe in myself. Always. To my dream team, for your laser focus and mental endurance. To my co-founder Anand, for leading from the front and inspiring me to always do the right thing. To my co-founder Nitish, for role modeling that rare combination of intelligence and humility. To Ali, Touraj & team, for your warmth and infectious never-give-up attitude. To my lead investor, Vinod Khosla, for showing me what true conviction looks like. We can't wait to scale our technology into one of the largest autonomous robot fleets in the world. The future looks bright. Let’s Go!
