Saket Saurabh is the Co-founder and CEO of Nexla. At Nexla, he is building a future where data is accessible and understandable to all, not just a few or those in the engineering department. Saket's passion for data can be traced back to his time at Nvidia, which led him to build a startup in the mobile ad tech space and lead it towards a successful IPO. Drawing upon his expertise in building and operating petabyte-scale systems, Saket and his founding team created Nexla to democratize data. Saket holds an MBA from The Wharton School and a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT, Kanpur.

Saket can speak to the importance of all departments, not just the engineering department, having access to real-time data to make better decisions (e.g., retailers and businesses across us grossly miscalculated the impact of the pandemic because they were working with outdated and siloed data). Here is a case study for an ad client (Kargo) and a relevant Forbes piece, "Five Enterprise Data Predictions For 2022".

Nexla helps retailers integrate, transform, and monitor their data (inventory, orders, shipment, delivery, etc.) from one single, seamless, unified platform, all in real-time. Their proprietary tech creates a seamless, user-friendly you can be in marketing or HR at your retail company and still understand what is going on from a data perspective in layman's terms and avoid significant order, shipping, or inventory problems.

Nexla's customers include LinkedIn, Instacart, DoorDash, Eddie Bauer, Forever 21, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Poshmark, and leading financial institutions.
