Nikunj founded Falkonry after realizing that very valuable operational data produced in industrial infrastructure goes mostly unutilized in the energy, manufacturing, and transportation sectors. Nikunj believes hard business problems can be solved by combining machine learning, user-oriented design and partnerships. Prior to Falkonry, Nikunj led software architecture and customer success for C3 IoT. Earlier, he led innovation teams at Oracle focused on database technology and led the creation of the IndexedDB standard for databases embedded inside all modern browsers.
He holds both a Master’s and Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai. He has contributed to standards at both W3C and IETF, and is a member of the ACM.
