Sudheesh Nair
Sudheesh Nair is the cofounder and CEO of TinyFish, a Palo Alto company building enterprise web agents that let AI navigate, research, and extract data from the web at scale. He grew up in a lower-middle-class family in a small town in India before a teacher's nudge toward a campus interview set him on a path to the United States. He was an early employee and president of Nutanix, where he helped scale the company from zero to more than $1 billion in revenue and a 2016 IPO, then served as CEO of ThoughtSpot, steering it from on-premises BI to a cloud-native AI analytics platform. In 2024 he cofounded TinyFish, which launched publicly in 2025 with $47 million in funding and counts Google among its early customers.

A UC Berkeley EECS graduate and Stanford AI lab dropout, Tung spent 15+ years building Diffbot with minimal funding (under $15M total) into a platform used by Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, Snapchat, and 400+ enterprises.
