About Smita Karhade
With over a decade of leadership experience at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and social impact, I’m passionate about building products that serve, uplift, and scale with purpose.As a founder of Renteez.ai, I’ve led the creation of an AI-powered rental marketplace that unlocks micro-entrepreneurship by leveraging underutilized goods. Designed to empower women, students, artists, and small-scale owners, Renteez reflects my belief that technology should be an enabler—making income and access more equitable and sustainable.Previously, I’ve shaped digital products and platforms across nonprofit, mobile, and healthcare sectors—turning early concepts into scalable systems through thoughtful design, data-driven iteration, and deep user empathy.At the core of my work is a commitment to community—creating tools that are not only usable but meaningful. Whether launching new ventures or supporting existing ones, I’m driven by one question: how can we build better, together?
Experience
Co-founder & President
Rungmunch-Theater With A Cause
Jun 2016 — Present · US
RUNGMUNCH BACKGROUND - WHO WE ARE? Rungmunch, a platform founded by a passionate couple with the mission of giving back to the community. We are empowering driven actors, directors, dancers, musicians, singers, and playwrights of Indian origin to come together to produce great theater to raise funds for a worthy cause.Our philosophy is as an attendee or performer in any play, movie, musical show, we enjoy every moment of it, and while doing so if we could be the reason to put a smile on someone’s face, then it will be more satisfying.There is a proverb that says, “It takes a village to raise a child”. We extended that proverb, “It takes a community to raise a community”.#For CommunitiesByCommunities#EmpoweringArtistsForBettermentOfCommunities#MakeADifference
