Devaki Raj

Country: India
Devaki Raj is the CEO and Cofounder of CrowdAI. She earned her undergraduate and Masters degree in Statistics from the University of Oxford. Her expertise in Statistics helped her to optimize renewable energy allocation in sub-Saharan Africa while working at Google in various teams such as Maps, Energy, and [X]. During her time at Google, she realized the lack of high-resolution on-the-ground information, particularly on the locations of homes, villages, and farms in the rural areas despite the power of Google Maps. This knowledge gap prompted Devaki to establish CrowdAI in 2016 with the aim of offering high-resolution on-the-ground data using artificial intelligence. CrowdAI was accepted by Y-Combinator, and TechCrunch picked it as one of the top 8 companies to watch in addition to being selected for Forbes' Top 25 Machine Learning Companies and Inc Magazine's 30 companies under 30. Additionally, the company was a finalist for the Nvidia Deep Learning Inception Awards. Devaki Raj's skills in Statistics and her vision for CrowdAI have been recognized not only through the company's numerous awards but also by her being named among Forbes' 30 Under 30. Through her work, Devaki Raj is playing a crucial role in providing accurate on-the-ground data that can help improve the lives of people in rural areas.
