Ritesh Ragavender

Ritesh Ragavender is the Founder and CEO of Reflex Robotics, a New York-based startup building affordable, general-purpose wheeled humanoid robots for warehouse and logistics operations. A former MIT student with roots in quantitative finance and a prior YCombinator-backed startup, Ragavender launched Reflex in 2022 with a team drawn from Boston Dynamics, Tesla, Anduril, and Oculus. The company raised a $7M seed round led by Khosla Ventures in 2024 and has since partnered with GXO Logistics - the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider - for live warehouse deployments. Reflex's robots aim to be 20x cheaper than competing humanoids, combining AI policies that improve with every shift with human-in-the-loop remote supervision.
