Rushil Goel
Rushil Goel is the CEO and Co-founder of Nirvana Insurance, an AI-native commercial trucking insurance company valued at $1.5 billion after a $100M Series D in December 2025. Before founding Nirvana, he spent five years at Samsara scaling fleet telematics from zero to $400M+ ARR, where he spotted the gap between how much safety data existed and how little insurance companies used it. An IIT Bombay CS grad with a Wharton MBA, Goel has built two companies and scaled products across India and the US - from mobile payments at Ola to connected fleet operations - before channeling everything into rebuilding commercial insurance from the ground up.
