Atul Singh
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer
The Shelf
Atul, aka Raj aka Lau’tul, hails from Rajasthan, India – the place of kings. As the other half of our dynamic co-founding duo (Lauren + Atul = Lau’tul), Atul also does a little bit of everything, and a lot of anything algorithm-driven. He attended IIT then earned a PhD in computer science from Rice University.
Atul currently boasts no hobbies. Like, none. But…
He says he likes to buy exercise equipment (although, he never uses it).
Oh, and he also knows the strings on a guitar (presumably – he took two lessons).
When he’s not working, we suspect Atul’s downtime includes activities that help him think through work stuff. For instance, he likes driving, barbecue, and ladoos. Lau’tul also recently welcomed Baby Daphne to the fold!
Fun fact from Lauren: “When I first met Atul, he was working at NEC labs. When asked what he did there he replied (dead seriously) ‘basically, I think.’ ” Ahh… of course. We think all this thinking has led to his extreme knack for coming up with the longest-running cringe-worthy Dad jokes ever.
