Co-Founder & CEO
Astrome
Neha is a serial entrepreneur and a researcher. She holds a PhD from Texas A&M University and a Master’s from Indian Institute of Science in Aerospace Engineering. She worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Air Force Research Lab, USA.
Astrome has pioneered a Multi-beam E-band product, GigaMesh that packs 6 Point-to-Point E-band radios in one, thereby distributing the cost of the device over multiple links. The underlying technology is their patented millimeter wave multi-beam technology which offers powerful features like automatic link alignment, dynamic power allocation between links and remote link formation to help operators achieve significant OpEx cost reduction. The product is ideal for rapid deployment of rural broadband and 5G. She loves entrepreneurship because it has endless possibilities to create and it challenges one to go out of their comfort zone.
