Gaurav Rao is the founder of Mindweave Technologies and the architect behind PlacementPilot AI. He has spent the last decade building software at engineering-led startups in India and the US, and started Mindweave to build tools that move outcomes — not dashboards — for Indian institutions. His work on PlacementPilot AI focuses on the unglamorous middle of the placement funnel: real-time readiness signals, honest reporting, and AI that helps placement officers (not replaces them).
