ABOUT
Hello, my name is Arshad Hisham. and Iʼm an internationally recognized entrepreneur, executive leader, and inventor. With degrees in Business, Engineering, and an MBA, I have founded and grown companies that have achieved significant milestones and received global press coverage. My journey includes negotiating complex exit sales to billion-dollar conglomerates and making innovative contributions to the fields of AI, Automation, and Robotics.
Welcome to my personal blog, where I share my experiences and insights on entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. My goal is to provide valuable content that you can apply in your personal and professional life. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned professional, this blog is for you.
Born in Kannur, Kerala, India, my competitive nature drove me to excel in everything I pursued from a young age. At just 10 years old, I launched my first business, selling physics lab simulations created on a Commodore 64 to my classmates. I still remember my excitement when I expanded my customer base tenfold within a year. It was a humble beginning, but it laid the foundation for my entrepreneurial journey.
I have had the privilege of serving on advisory councils at leading universities such as Cal State East Bay and on the jury selection committee for the prestigious Edison Awards. I am also an Edison Award Silver Medal honoree for my contributions to science and technology. My work has been featured in major publications like Fortune, Forbes, and the Discovery Channel. I have delivered keynotes at esteemed events such as the IEEE Robotics Symposium at Columbia University and the Boston Consulting Groupʼs AI Summit, blending insights with a touch of humor to keep the audience engaged.
As a top operations executive and digital transformation leader, I specialize in leveraging technology to drive growth and efficiency across various sectors, including healthcare, retail, hospitality, and banking. Additionally, I am a board member, angel investor, and advisor to fast-growing tech companies in AI, Automation, Cybersecurity, Blockchain/FinTech, and Robotics. My passion lies in fostering innovation and empowering entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, India, the UK, and the Middle East. Between 2008 and 2015, I founded four rapidly growing startups in Enterprise Software, Vehicle Automation, Point of Sale Systems, and Online Gaming. Since establishing InGen Dynamics in 2015, our products, such as Aido, Sentinel, Kaiser.Haus, and Origami, have addressed global challenges like labor shortages and environmental sustainability. By Q2 2024, we achieved an $80M revenue pipeline and deployed pre-production Tabletop Aido robots in the US, London, and the Asia Pacific.My work has been published and taught in high school textbooks and referenced by prestigious academic institutions. Recently, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers featured my company in a cover article. As an educator, I designed and developed a comprehensive Engineering Degree curriculum in AI, Automation, and Robotics for the Futurenauts educational initiative.
I regularly appear on prominent global podcasts and international press outlets discussing AI, IP, Education, Automation, and Robotics. I am also honored to be a member of the Cranfield 50 group, an elite group of the top 50 alumni from Cranfield, a top business school ranked 3rd in the world by the Wall Street Journal and 5th by Forbes. Additionally, I serve as an Executive-In-Residence (EIR) at Cranfield.On this blog, I share my journey and experiences, including lessons learned, mistakes made, and big wins.
