Karthik Iyappan Gunasekaran
I consider myself a global citizen and I love to travel. I have travelled to several different countries and have lived in 5 different countries across 3 different continents. At heart I am an engineer who is curious about new technologies. My passion to build new tech products and scaling them to the market motivated me to pursue a career in product development. This was an eye opening experience for me which made me think about economies of scale and building products with a customer centric perspective.
Currently, I am heading global product teams working on projects like SaaS based adaptive platforms, use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, 3D environments, AR/VR tech, IoT (Internet of Things) etc. I am looking forward to an exciting future where all these technologies can make life better for all of us and take humanity forward. My motivation to get up everyday is to learn more about new technologies and build products for an exciting future.
I hold a BS (Honors) degree in Electronics & Instrumentation engineering from Birla Institute of Technology & Science, an Executive MS degree in Digital Technologies from The Johns Hopkins University and an MBA degree from The University of Iowa.
