Sashi Reddi
DreamVu is Sashi Reddi's sixth company as CEO and Co-Founder. He is best known for founding AppLabs, the world's largest independent software testing company with 2,500+ professionals across the US, UK, and India. Backed by WestBridge and Sequoia India, AppLabs was acquired by CSC. His earlier companies include EZPower Systems (later part of Oracle) and FXLabs (later part of Electronic Arts). Sashi has spent over two decades building, and investing in, technology companies across the US and India. BTech IIT Delhi and MS NYU, both in Computer Science with AI focus. PhD in Operations and Information Management from Wharton.
Rajat Aggarwal
Rajat holds a BTech and Masters in Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad, with a specialization in Computer Vision and Computational Photography. His breakthrough research in computational optics — including the world's first panoramic stereo camera built on a single sensor — became the seed for DreamVu. An inventor at heart, Rajat previously worked with MIT Media Lab and the L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) to build several medical optical devices. He brings over a decade of experience in camera hardware and software, with deep specialization in optics, manufacturing, and production scaling. He holds multiple patents and has authored several peer-reviewed papers in computer vision and computational optics.
Dr. Anoop Namboodiri
Anoop Namboodiri is Professor and Dean of Faculty Affairs at IIIT Hyderabad, with a research focus in pattern recognition, biometrics, and computer vision. He holds a PhD from Michigan State University. Anoop designed the foundational biometric deduplication solutions for India's Aadhaar project — the world's largest biometric identity system, covering over a billion people. At DreamVu, he leads the development of omnidirectional 3D vision systems and the visual intelligence software that powers the Physical AI platform. He has authored 75+ peer-reviewed papers in computer vision, machine learning, and biometrics.
Parikshit Sakurikar
PhD in Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad, where his doctoral research focused on epsilon focus photography — the computational study of focus, defocus, and depth-of-field in wide-aperture imagery. He has 20+ publications across leading venues in computer vision and graphics, spanning depth estimation and light field synthesis to generative models for scene refocusing and neural rendering. At DreamVu, he oversees Imaging and AI — from the optics of the camera systems to the data pipelines and model fine-tuning that underpin DreamVu's Physical AI platform.
Dr. Takeo Kanade
A foundational figure in computer vision and robotics, Dr. Kanade was the founding director of CMU's Robotics Institute (1992–2001) and has authored 400+ technical papers and 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 U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He has advised DreamVu since its early years.
Dr. Michael S. Brown
Dr. Brown is a leading authority 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, and is a senior figure in the global computer vision community.
Prof. P.J. Narayanan
Prof. Narayanan founded the Centre for Visual Information Technology (CVIT) at IIIT Hyderabad — now India's largest research group in computer vision and graphics, and the lab where DreamVu's foundational technology was born. Earlier, at CMU's Robotics Institute, he built the pioneering Virtualized Reality system for capturing dynamic 3D scenes. His research spans 3D vision, computational cameras, and GPU computing.
Dr. Dinesh Manocha
Dr. Manocha leads one of the world's most productive research groups in robotics, computer graphics, and AI for autonomous systems, with 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 60+ commercial vendors across gaming, simulation, and robotics.
