🌎 23 yr | 🤖 Co-Founder @ Maya AI | 🧠 AI, Pschology, & Marketing | 🏆 TBBJ 25 Under 25

👋 Hey, I’m Shivam Ramphal — Co-Founder of Maya AI. I come from a background that blends chemical engineering, marketing, and robotics, and I’ve spent the past few years focused on building technology that actually makes people’s work easier, not harder.

At Maya, we’re using AI to solve real problems — automating the grunt work behind research, recruitment, and decision-making so teams can move faster with more confidence.

Outside of Maya, I enjoy collaborating with other individuals and staying close to the communities that helped shape my journey. Whether it’s tech, talent, or just better tools, I believe innovation should always start with people.
