Vidur S. Bhatnagar CTO, Grovara

I turn messy ideas into polished products
16 products launched and counting...

I'm an AI & Software Engineer, self-taught UI/UX designer, and 2x founder (both acquired).

I led software and product teams as L7 Senior Engineering Manager at Amazon to launch compliance software for Amazon's global transportation network. At 23, I was a Technical Fellow to the MD of SAP Labs India where I built a machine-learning engine on SAP HANA that predicted events for a live sporting event (cricket).
