Key facts
Early Years: Machine Learning Research
Raunak Chowdhuri says he published computer vision papers with more than 100 citations before finishing high school.[1]
He describes Multinet, an autonomous sidewalk robot, as “my first ever research project + paper at Prof. Karl Zipser’s lab in BerkeleyUniversity of California, BerkeleyThe University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is a campus of the University of California system; the University of California was founded in 1868 through a merger of two institutions and moved to Berkeley, California, in 1873.Open the full entry.”[2]
Education: MIT
He is listed on the Class of 2024 roster of the Phi Kappa Theta chapter at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with San Diego, California, as his hometown and electrical engineering and computer science (Course 6-2) as his major; his listed activities include running a biotech startup.[3]
He met Adit Abraham as a student at MIT and worked at Nvidia before Reducto.[4]
Early Venture: Computational Chemistry
He says he founded a computational chemistry consulting company and grew it to $200,000 in annual recurring revenue.[1]
His projects include Oloren ChemEngine, a composable QSAR (quantitative structure–activity relationship) library.[5]
Oloren AI describes Oloren ChemEngine as its machine learning library for predicting molecular properties in drug discovery.[6]
June 2023Rebutting a GPT-4 Paper
In June 2023 he and fellow MIT electrical engineering and computer science students Neil Deshmukh and David Koplow published a rebuttal arguing that a widely publicized paper claiming GPT-4 could ace MIT’s curriculum was methodologically flawed, writing that “we found clear signs that a significant portion of the evaluation dataset was contaminated.”[7]
2023Remembrall and Founding Reducto
In 2023 he co-founded Reducto with Abraham and became its chief technology officer.[8]
Abraham has said Remembrall, a long-term memory tool for large language models, began as Chowdhuri’s hackathon project and was what the pair applied to Y Combinator with.[9]
October 2025Series B
When Reducto announced its $75 million Series B, he said, “Our current customers love us for our best-in-class accuracy.”[10]
December 2025Forbes 30 Under 30
He and Abraham were named to the AI category of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for 2026.[11]
