Rana Gujral builds at the frontier of Artificial Intelligence—AI, Cognitive AI, and the long-horizon path toward AGI. As CEO of Behavioral Signals, he turns advances in speech-signal processing and representation learning into production systems that infer intent, emotion, and risk from voice—powering real-time interaction intelligence, trust & safety, and deepfake detection. His interests span paralinguistics, self-supervised/transformer speech embeddings, Artificial General Experience (AGE), robotics, and cybersecurity. Previously, he founded TiZE (acquired by Alchemy), led Smart Home at Logitech, and drove an innovation-led platform rebuild in consumer tech that returned the business from near-bankruptcy to profitable growth and set the path to its later $4.4B IPO.
