Ashesh Jain

Ashesh Jain is the co-founder and CEO of Coram AI, a Sunnyvale-based startup turning ordinary IP security cameras into AI-powered intelligence endpoints. A Cornell PhD and IIT Delhi alumnus, Jain spent years at the frontier of autonomous vehicles - building perception systems at Zoox and leading Lyft's self-driving program as Head of Autonomy - before pivoting that expertise into reimagining physical security. His research work includes Brain4Cars (a car that predicts driver errors before they happen) and the award-winning Structural-RNN paper (CVPR 2016 Best Student Paper), which has over 1,600 citations. Coram AI raised a $13.8M Series A in January 2025 led by Battery Ventures, and its platform now monitors thousands of cameras across schools, hospitals, warehouses, and manufacturing sites across the U.S.
