Aditya Ganapathi
Co-Founder of Cora
AI and robotics researcher with 500+ citations · Google Brain · UC Berkeley
Background
Aditya Ganapathi is the Co-Founder of Cora, an AI fitness coach backed by Y Combinator (W24). He studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and conducted research at Google Brain, where he developed AI and robotics systems that have been cited more than 500 times in academic publications.
His background bridges frontier machine learning research and applied product development. At Berkeley and Google Brain, Adi worked on problems in reinforcement learning, robot perception, and adaptive systems — the same foundational ideas that now power Cora's personalized coaching engine.
Adi co-founded Cora because he saw a clear gap: every credible fitness intervention — periodization, recovery science, nutrition timing — existed in academic literature, but none of it was accessible to everyday athletes. Cora is his answer: an AI coach that applies research-grade reasoning to your actual wearable data, in real time.
