Raj Aggarwal left AWS almost three years later, according to LinkedIn Post Aggarwal, which was released on Wednesday.
“We are proud of the pioneering work our team has done with generative AI since the earliest times,” Aggarwal told his post. “We built what could be the world's first large-scale generation AI product. It was launched by tens of thousands of sellers, used it hundreds of thousands of times, and increased the pipeline's generation by 4.9%.”
Aggarwal played a prominent role in AWS' recent push to generate AI. On LinkedIn Post, he mentioned AWS' AI Foundation model, the Bedrock AI development platform, and Amazon's business-centric generation AI assistant, Amazon Q.
Aggarwal is planning to launch a new company “back to its roots,” he said in his post, but did not provide specific details.
Aggarwal is unfamiliar with entrepreneurship. Before joining AWS, he launched Localytics, a mobile analytics and messaging platform in 2009. Localytics raised more than $69 million in venture funding before Upland Blueevenn acquired it in 2020. In 2017, Aggarwal left the company.
Aggarwal later founded Demand Sage, an AI-driven sales analytics platform in 2018. Demandsage raised $3 million from venture capital before appearing on SNAP in April 2021.
TechCrunch contacted Aggarwal for more details on the comment and AWS.
