Gagandeep Reehal, Co-Founder & CEO, Minus Zero
Gagandeep Reehal, is co-founder & CEO of Minus Zero, an autonomous vehicle startup pioneering a groundbreaking AI approach aimed at solving autonomous driving using only cameras.
Closely working at an intuitive intersection of AI & cognitive computing from the last 4 years, he had always been intrigued by neuronal computations inside the human brain contributing to attention, perception, episodic memory, and predictive decision-making.
With the problem of autonomous driving where current AI paradigms fail due to inability to handle real-world complexity, unlike the human mind, he knew the big gap that they could solve when he co-founded Minus Zero in 2021 with high-school batchmate, Gursimran.
Getting his first desktop and internet connection at age of 10 had opened up a whole new world of learning for him - robotics, AI, etc. Though a final year engineering undergrad currently, traditional education had never been a limiting factor. He believes that most complicated problems can be solved elegantly by breaking it down to right sub-problems, and reasoning from first principles.
He has mentored/judged major developer events worldwide, and has spoken at multiple conferences and major institutions around AI & robotics.
Beyond Minus Zero, you would often find him reading compelling fiction or maybe writing poetry. He has three book publications to his credit.
Gursimran Kalra, co-founded Minus Zero to solve toughest problems of mobility - autonomous driving alongside his old high-school companion, Gagandeep, during the lockdown.
Having recently graduated from SRCC, Gursimran Kalra has always been driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on society. He recognizes the imperative for traditional industries to undergo disruptive technological transformations to address the pressing needs of humanity.
Coming from a small town, he always made sure to explore every opportunity that could propel him towards his goal - becoming two-time district topper in high school boards and securing a coveted place at one of the country's premier institutions. But he wasn’t satisfied - the real world complexities didn’t closely match the text-book problem statements.
Post a serendipitous Instagram conversation one day catching up, a shared vision and unwavering belief in each other's abilities led both of them to building the startup together.
Minus Zero stands at the forefront of innovation, pioneering a groundbreaking AI approach inspired by the human brain, aimed at solving significant challenges in mobility, particularly autonomous driving using cameras alone.
Outside Minus Zero, Gursimran loves exploring diverse cultures, relishing their cuisine, music, and cinema.
