Asheem Panakkat is the Co-Founder and CEO of Klarent. He spent 12 years at Google, moving from hands-on engineering to leading large-scale teams, including as Engineering Lead on Google Merchant Center and Google Lens Education, experience that shaped his approach to shipping at scale, maintaining technical excellence, and growing teams without losing velocity. He previously founded plxLabs, and now leads Klarent, using AI to rethink software QA and help product teams catch bugs before their users do. He believes great products come from tight feedback loops, clear thinking, and obsessing over real user problems, and holds degrees from NIT Calicut and the Indian School of Business.
