Welcome to the world of possibilities. At Zanavu, we believe in pursuing the dreams with zeal<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over two decades, I, Murali Krishnan<\/b>, has been developing and bringing innovative technology solutions to business problems.\u00a0I had been a startup founder, software leader, and a human focused on solving problems. My recent stint was as a cofounder of RapL, focused on workforce training with AI driven mobile-first microlearning. I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, enterprises, and social impact. I led software teams at Microsoft (20+ years), startups (6 years), and Starbucks (2 years).

Recently, I have been playing with new problems: locally hosted AI models, privacy enhanced AI processing, conversational chat analysis and generation, audio papers, and mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, I was a founding member of the world\u2019s fastest web server (then) from Microsoft. I have led strategic digital transformations and v1 incubations to innovate and expand products across consumer and enterprise markets. My work spans diverse experiences in technologies for consumer, enterprise, web, mobile, cloud, scale, reliability, big data, UX, multi-tenant, B2B, B2C, SaaS, aI, etc. Murali holds 30+ issued US Patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love working with startup teams. I mentor, assist, and advise startup founders on team building, fund raising, B2B and B2C products, business models, etc.\u00a0As the investment chair for the Guindy Alumni Angels<\/a> and working with other Angel investing groups, I had invested in dozens of startups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I volunteer as time permits working with\u00a0\u00a0Sparksip.org<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(a non-profit that connects high school students to internships at local businesses) and Asha for Education.\u00a0I also the founder of CEGfi : CEG Field Insights<\/a><\/em>, CEG AI Builders, and CEG Outdoors<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>efforts.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021-2025, I completed my first marathon run in Seattle. I had gone out on several hikes including to the Grand Canyon and the Enchantments. I enjoy hiking, skiing, biking, and running in the beautiful Northwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
