About Ravi Neelakantan
I work at the intersection of invention, technical judgment, and commercialization.My background spans chemistry, chemical engineering, applied physics, and programming with end-to-end technical leadership and customer-facing commercialization across infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and AI platforms. I’ve led end-to-end technical and commercial efforts resulting in 34 patents, multiple first-author publications (including an Editor’s Pick in Physics of Fluids), and over $45M in revenue, licensing, and customer-backed commercial investment.I’m comfortable operating in both global organizations and fast-moving teams — aligning R&D, applications engineering, manufacturing, and commercial stakeholders to convert technically complex systems into scalable, profitable deployments.My focus is simple: build technologies that perform in the real world and stand up to economic scrutiny.Outside of work, I design and build high-end electric guitars through Catalyst Guitar. It\'s a hands-on reminder that materials, process, user experience, craft, self-reliance and agency determine outcomes.
