I’m Swapan Rajdev, a builder trying to shape the future with AI. I founded Haptik, India’s largest conversational AI platform, in 2013—long before chatbots were mainstream. In 2019, Haptik was acquired by Reliance Jio for $100M, solidifying its impact on enterprises worldwide.
Beyond building products, I actively invest in startups and work closely with founders to help them set up for success, leveraging my experience in scaling businesses and creating AI-first cultures.
I’m also an alumnus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I discovered my passion for technology and innovation. In 2009, I created iOS app called Snake Classic, a side project that became the #4 app on the App Store while I was working full-time at Accenture—proof that impactful ideas can come from anywhere.
My contributions to AI and technology have earned me recognition, including being named one of MIT’s Top Innovators Under 35 and receiving the UIUC Young Alumni Achievement Award.
