About Chinnu Senthilkumar
My Specialities: Technology start-ups, Investments, Business Strategy & Technology Policies I have a passion for technology, and before joining Exfinity Technology VC fund, I worked in the US-India tech corridor for over 15 years at leading technology companies such as Intel Corporation, Texas Instruments, and SanDisk Corporation. Growing up in senior roles, including as SanDisk GCC Head, I executed SanDisk India\'s strategy—covering R&D Centre, engineering outsourcing, and sales and marketing. I worked on cutting-edge technologies and received nine patents from the USPTO for innovation. In recent years, I co-founded Exfinity Venture Partners LLP, a Technology VC fund backed by India\'s Fortune 500 CxOs. Exfinity is a B2B-oriented venture capital fund with numerous investments in the Indo-US and Indo-Singapore tech corridors. The \"Make in India for Global Markets\" thesis is best exemplified by Exfinity. Exfinity\'s startup portfolio features AI, deep-tech solutions, B2B platforms and provides enterprise-grade platforms to over 30 Fortune 500 companies across various regions.I am an active industry participant in industry forums (IESA, CII, NASSCOM, etc.), have authored several articles related to technology policies, and have been invited as a panel member in the technology and VC forums.
