After two exits and one near-death startup, the New York founder is still working on the same stubborn problem: how to turn a network of names into a useful human connection.

Before AI could read a career, someone had to teach the software what a career leaves out. Aditya Viswanadha's path from electronics student to Findem's founding engineering team is a quiet study in context, systems, and the useful limits of a resume.

The former barrister now markets AI for hiring. Her unusual advantage is not a louder pitch, but a lawyer’s instinct for evidence, context and the human story hidden inside a record.

From borrowed physics notes in rural India to a 2026 deal with Findem, the Glider AI co-founder has spent his career turning one stubborn belief into software: opportunity should follow demonstrated ability, not pedigree.
