Avneesh Agrawal is the co-founder and CEO of Netradyne, the San Diego AI company that turns dashcams into a real-time safety coach for commercial drivers. After more than a decade at Qualcomm, where he led 4G LTE research, ran corporate R&D, and served as president of Qualcomm India and South Asia, he left in 2015 to chase a convergence he saw coming: cheap camera sensors, edge computing, and deep learning arriving at the same moment. Netradyne's Driver-i platform now analyzes billions of miles of driving and reduces accidents by 30 to 50 percent. In January 2025, a $90 million Series D led by Point72 pushed the company past a $1 billion valuation. A Stanford PhD with more than 150 US patents, Agrawal builds at the intersection of research and the real world.
Netradyne is a San Diego-based AI and edge-computing company that builds Driveri, a vision-based dashcam and analytics platform for commercial fleets. Founded in 2015 by two former Qualcomm engineers, it uses on-device computer vision to score driving in real time, recognize good behavior as well as risk, and turn raw road footage into coaching, compliance, and exoneration evidence. In January 2025 it raised a $90M Series D at a $1.34B valuation, becoming India's first unicorn of the year thanks to its large Bengaluru engineering base.
