S7 Bonus: Architecting the Dark Warehouse: Scaling Autonomous Mobile Robots with Tapan Pattnayak of Addverb

Tapan Pattnayak life revolves around technology - his friends, professional colleagues, etc. and even his wife is an engineer, who he met at a company he was working at. He's passionate about making kids fall in love with science, and inspire a generation of young people to roll up their sleeves and dig into hardware. He believes that engineering is taught from the passion of other engineers. Outside of tech, he used to play sports, specifically cricket. When time limited the play of cricket, he started reading philosophy and history, with the goal of predicting what is happening in macro or societal trends.

While growing up in India, Tapan was contacted by his good friend in the states to join his company. At first he was hesitant, but he came to a point in his life where he felt he needed to do something different - something that was high energy, open, and impactful to the rest of the world.

This is Tapan's creation story at Addverb.
