Rakesh Vaddadi

Rakesh Vaddadi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Beacon.li, a Milpitas-based AI orchestration platform that automates enterprise software implementation - from configuration and testing to deployment and hypercare support. A BITS Pilani computer science alumnus and serial entrepreneur, Rakesh previously co-founded WINDO (an Instagram commerce platform used by 200,000+ sellers in 144 countries) and Gear6 (a bike maintenance startup). At Beacon.li, he is tackling one of enterprise software's biggest blind spots: the gap between a signed contract and a successful go-live, using AI agents that learn through the UI without any backend access. The company raised a $7M Series A in March 2025 led by Sorin Investments.
