DreamVu is an applied research company

DreamVu is Sashi’s sixth company as CEO and co-founder. He founded AppLabs, which grew into the largest independent software testing company in the world with more than 2,500 staff across the US, UK, and India, backed by WestBridge and Sequoia India and acquired by CSC. His earlier companies were EZPower Systems, later part of Oracle, and FXLabs, later part of Electronic Arts. He has spent more than two decades building and investing in technology companies across the US and India. BTech from IIT Delhi and MS from NYU, both in computer science. PhD in operations and information management from Wharton.

Rajat holds a BTech and Masters in computer science from IIIT Hyderabad, specializing in computer vision and computational photography. He led the design and engineering of the Alia camera. He previously built medical optical devices with MIT Media Lab and the L V Prasad Eye Institute. He has over a decade of experience in camera hardware and software, with deep knowledge of optics, manufacturing, and production scaling, and holds multiple patents.

Tony builds large-scale software platforms for media and data. Before DreamVu, he spent nearly two decades at Comcast, where he founded and led the VOD Center of Excellence platform engineering organization supporting content ingestion, media indexing, workflow, and publishing across Comcast and Sky. He also led the migration of Comcast’s video content platform from on-premises infrastructure to AWS and managed engineering and operations teams across the US, India, and UK. At DreamVu, he leads software engineering and the platform that handles captured data through ingestion, orchestration, processing, and customer packaging. He holds a BS in Multimedia Studies from Northeastern University.

Parikshit holds a PhD in computer science from IIIT Hyderabad, where his research covered focus, defocus, and depth of field in wide-aperture imaging. He has more than 20 publications across computer vision and graphics, spanning depth estimation, light field synthesis, scene refocusing, and neural rendering. At DreamVu he runs imaging and AI, from camera optics through to the data pipelines and model fine-tuning.

Anoop is Professor and Dean of Faculty Affairs at IIIT Hyderabad, working in pattern recognition, biometrics, and computer vision. He holds a PhD from Michigan State University. He designed the biometric deduplication system for India’s Aadhaar program, the largest biometric identity system in the world, covering more than a billion people. He has published more than 75 peer-reviewed papers.

Takeo was founding director of CMU’s Robotics Institute from 1992 to 2001 and has written more than 400 technical papers and holds over 20 patents across stereo vision, structure-from-motion, and autonomous systems. His honors include the Kyoto Prize, the Benjamin Franklin Medal, and election to the US National Academy of Engineering. He advises DreamVu.

Michael works on the camera imaging pipeline, color science, and computational photography. His research has shipped in hundreds of millions of consumer devices, including the Samsung Galaxy line. He has served as program or general chair for CVPR, ACCV, 3DV, and WACV.

Dinesh leads a research group in robotics, computer graphics, and AI for autonomous systems, with more than 850 publications and 19 patents. He co-founded Impulsonic, acquired by Valve, and is a Fellow of ACM, AAAI, AAAS, IEEE, and NAI. His group’s software is licensed to more than 60 commercial vendors.

P.J. founded the Centre for Visual Information Technology at IIIT Hyderabad, now the largest computer vision and graphics research group in India. Earlier, at CMU’s Robotics Institute, he built the Virtualized Reality system for capturing dynamic 3D scenes. His research covers 3D vision, computational cameras, and GPU computing.
