Garima Kapoor is the Co-founder and Co-CEO of MinIO, which she co-founded in 2014 alongside AB Periasamy. While MinIO operates in a deeply technical corner of infrastructure, Garima's role has been to shape the company's long-term strategy, enterprise growth, and positioning through multiple waves of technological change — from cloud-native to today's AI boom. She's known for taking a practical view of AI: rather than chasing hype, she focuses on the less glamorous but critical foundations that determine whether AI actually works in production. Over the past decade, she has helped build MinIO from an open-source project into a global enterprise software company with adoption across the Fortune 100 and 500. MinIO is backed by Jerry Yang's AME Cloud Ventures, Dell Technologies, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Intel Capital, and SoftBank Vision Fund 2.
