A product veteran who helped ship the Moto X and rebuild Flipkart's consumer experience, Soni founded Suki in 2017 on a single thesis - 'AI is the new UI' - before that phrase became a conference staple. Suki now serves 350+ health systems across the US, has raised $255 million in total funding, and helps clinicians complete notes 72% faster. Soni was educated at NIT Kurukshetra, the University of Wyoming, and Wharton, and has lived at the intersection of big tech, emerging markets, and healthcare for over two decades.
