Description
Tanuj Mohan is no stranger to the world of entrepreneurship. From growing up in India to becoming a successful, repeated founder, his journey is a testament to innovation, perseverance, and a deep understanding of technology.
Tanuj’s latest company is AirEye, which has attracted funding from top-tier investors like Canaan, USVP, toDay Ventures, and Steve Krausz.

- Enlighted’s pivot to retrofit solutions and data-driven SaaS applications helped overcome market barriers in the construction industry.
