On The Move
First time founders: Shivani Mouleeswaran & Ritika Shrivastava - creators of Ember Robotics
Meet Shivani Mouleeswaran and Ritika Shrivastava, the powerhouse duo behind Ember Robotics, the Y Combinator-backed startup making robot diagnostics smarter, faster, and way less painful.
Before teaming up, Shivani was building computer vision systems at Simbe Robotics, engineering Autopilot at Tesla, and even interning at NASA. Ritika also spent time at Tesla’s Autopilot team, taught robotics at UC Berkeley, and cracked security challenges during internships at Microsoft and GoDaddy.
Now, as Co-Founder/CEO (Shivani) and Co-Founder/CTO (Ritika) of Ember Robotics, they’re bringing real-time, edge-first monitoring to robotics teams everywhere — think “Datadog for robots.”
In this episode, they share their wild ride from top engineering gigs to launching a startup, their biggest lessons learned, and why scaling robot reliability is the next big frontier.
