He spent over a decade building large-scale distributed systems for Amazon.com in Seattle, as well as helping open the company’s development center in Bangalore, India. He left Amazon to start a few companies: one connected newspaper editors to streams of original, high-quality news content and another made waiting for a table at a restaurant a delightful experience.

Hemant's mother taught him to meditate as a child. He rediscovered it in his late 20s and has been practicing regularly since.
