Raj Aggarwal is departing from AWS after a tenure focused on generative AI innovations. He highlights the team's groundbreaking work, including launching generative AI products that enhanced pipeline generation significantly. Aggarwal played a key role in developing foundational AI models and business tools during his time. As he prepares to start a new venture, he draws on a history of entrepreneurship that includes founding Localytics and Demand Sage, both of which garnered substantial venture funding. Details about his next company remain undisclosed.
I'm proud of the pioneering work our team did in generative AI from its earliest days. We built what might be the world's first large-scale generative AI products - launched to tens of thousands of sellers, used hundreds of thousands of times, driving a 4.9% increase in pipeline generation.
Aggarwal played a notable role in AWS' recent push into generative AI. He mentioned his contributions to AWS's AI foundation models, Bedrock AI development platform, and Amazon's business-focused generative AI assistant Amazon Q.
He plans to return to his roots and launch a new company, but didn't provide any specific details.
Aggarwal is no stranger to entrepreneurship. He launched Localytics, a mobile analytics and messaging platform, which raised more than $69 million in venture funding before being acquired.
