Manu Kumar Jain has announced the founding team of AI tech company G42.

Jain, earlier the global vice president at Xiaomi, joined G42 as the India CEO in October.

“Starting a new adventure brings a mix of excitement and challenges. The biggest challenge is convincing the first 5-10 team members to join, since no one knows about you. Have experienced it multiple times - from starting Jabong, to launching Xiaomi India, to now diving into the world of AI and Supercomputing with G42.”

While Aakriti Gupta will be the Finance Director, Reema Dash will be Legal Director. Sanuj Shah has been appointed as the Program Director and Rahul Pal will be spearheading the AI efforts.
