Krishna founded REMUS Capital as an MIT undergraduate during the 2008 financial crisis, starting in a dorm room and basement rather than joining an existing fund, and operates as both investor and hands-on CEO when needed—having stepped into the CEO role at portfolio company Presto Automation to 4x its share price before transitioning to Chairman. He combines deep technical training with unusually broad intellectual pursuits, from chemistry research at the University of Chicago and Weizmann Institute to producing an English ancient history film used at Cambridge and Oxford, while maintaining a practice of exploring conflict zones like Nepal during civil war and Kashmir during unrest to deepen his understanding of complex real-world systems.

• A strong preference for hands on operating experience over passive investing. Believes that getting directly involved with product development and customer interactions provides a massive edge, especially during major technological shifts. As an example, he credits his own time building the company Presto for giving him a competitive advantage over venture capitalists who prefer to just deploy capital from their desks.
• Consistent backing of Y Combinator alumni who demonstrate exceptional execution. Frequently highlights the importance of combining structured accelerator education with relentless founder drive. A prime example is his early involvement in leading the seed and subsequent rounds for Avoca, where his firm actively helped the team secure their very first enterprise customer.
• Deep skepticism of relying entirely on standard large language models for enterprise solutions. Argues that foundational models alone lack the accuracy required for high stakes business environments and instead champions a hybrid architecture. He frequently points to Presto as a successful case study of using a neurosymbolic approach combined with a human in the loop system to flawlessly handle final stage customer outcomes.
• Immense focus on vertical specific voice artificial intelligence. Views the current landscape as a massive opportunity he has spent over a decade preparing for, particularly within the restaurant sector. He pays close attention to industry trends in this space, even offering public critiques on how major fast food chains like Taco Bell have poorly executed their voice automation rollouts.
• Dedicated interest in solving complex healthcare challenges, primarily inflammation. Considers inflammation to be one of the greatest modern medical problems and actively supports root cause solutions that reduce reliance on steroids. He frequently showcases the progress of Vyome, a company he is involved with that is developing treatments for eye inflammation and malignant wounds.
• Strategic belief in the business and technological corridor between the United States and India. Views the partnership between these two nations as the most critical relationship of our time. He proudly highlighted this exact cross border synergy during a recent speech on the Nasdaq floor while celebrating the public debut of one of his healthcare ventures.
