The people behind GradeLab
Meet the Team
A small crew with a big missionmaking grading less painful for educators everywhere.
Akshat Shah
Co-Founder & CEO
The face, voice, and occasionally the hands of GradeLab. Akshat handles everything from investor pitches to making sure the office chai is hot. If GradeLab were a movie, he'd be the director, the lead actor, and the guy who remembered to book the venue. Basically the whole production crew in one person.
Jainil Padmani
Co-Founder & CTO
The architect of everything that actually runs. Jainil turns ambitious AI ideas into real, working product and makes it look easy. He's the person in the room who's already thought three technical steps ahead of everyone else. If something just works seamlessly, Jainil designed it that way on purpose.
Om Joshi
Co-Founder & CMO
The co-founder who keeps the bigger picture in frame. Om brings the strategic calm to balance the startup chaos, the kind of person who asks the one question in the room that changes the whole direction of a meeting. Quietly essential, thoroughly indispensable.
Rahul Raj Yadav
Backend Developer
The wizard behind the curtain. Rahul speaks fluent Python, databases, and mysterious error logs at 2am and fixes them before sunrise. When GradeLab grades a thousand answer sheets in seconds, that's his magic silently doing the heavy lifting. Probably optimizing something that was already fast.
Anshda Raj
Content Head
Words are Anshda's superpower. From blog posts that teachers actually want to read, to copy that makes AI grading sound exciting, she's the reason GradeLab sounds as good as it works. If you've ever thought "wow that was well-written," that was Anshda.
Naitik Mehta
BDE Head
Part operator, part hacker, full chaos manager. Naitik doesn't wait for things to work, he makes them work, usually by midnight, usually with three browser tabs open and a plan nobody else could've thought of. Give him a broken process and a deadline and he'll hand you a system. The kind of guy who figures it out no matter what. And he always does.
