Nikunj Bajaj
Nikunj Bajaj is the Co-Founder and CEO of TrueFoundry, a San Francisco-based enterprise AI infrastructure platform that lets companies build, deploy, and govern machine learning and generative AI applications on Kubernetes - in cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments. An IIT Kharagpur and UC Berkeley alum, Bajaj previously led machine learning at Facebook where he helped launch the company's first on-device model on Messenger and built the Proactive Assistant. He founded TrueFoundry in 2021 alongside two IIT Kharagpur batchmates, raised $21.3M (including a $19M Series A led by Intel Capital in 2025), and counts Siemens Healthineers, NVIDIA, and Automation Anywhere among customers - compressing typical AI deployment timelines from 14 months to under four.
