TIE Event, Rajiv Laroia, Flarion
Come and listen to Rajiv Laroia's inspiring story - a transition from
electrical engineer to research scientist to a hugely successful
entrepreneur!
An IIT-Delhi electrical engineer, Laroia joined the prestigious
mathematical sciences research center at Bell Labs, and from there, the
sky was the limit.
Learn how Laroia made the leap from pure Mathematics and research to
setting up a company, raising $150 million, and developing a way to
take broadband Internet to the sky, providing the world's fastest
wireless web access technology.
"There's no need to be tied down to wires," says Laroia, and after
Flarion was recently bought out by Qualcomm for $805 million he is
working to get technology towards that goal. Listen to how Laroia's
vision turned big dreams into reality. What were the challenges and
obstacles he faced, and how did he overcome them? What drives a
research scientist-turned-entrepreneur? What were the major forces
that influenced him ? How did he transform research talent into
tangible innovation ?
