About

I'm Anand Raj, currently leading Manufacturing Agentic AI Product and Engineering at General Motors. My career has been a journey from fundamental research as a scientist in India to building multi-million dollar IT service businesses and founding InXero. I specialize in bridging the gap between complex technical architecture and product strategy, particularly in the realm of high-throughput physical systems and multi-agent orchestration. I am deeply passionate about 'first principles engineering' and creating safe, reliable AI systems that drive real-world autonomy and business transformation. Whether it's scaling platforms that handle billions of telemetry events or exploring the latest in frontier models, I'm focused on delivering tangible ROI through disciplined execution. I’m always looking to connect with fellow innovators who are pioneering breakthroughs in industrial AI and next-generation autonomy.
