Meet The NextBillion.ai Founders

The team behind the platform redefining field service routing.

Gaurav Bubna, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Gaurav Bubna

Co-Founder

Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing a rare combination of deep technical expertise and real-world operational understanding to the platform. His career spans product leadership roles at some of the world's most demanding logistics and mobility companies — including Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — where he built successful products from scratch across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics. At NextBillion.ai, Gaurav channels that experience into building routing and field service optimization tools that solve the problems that generic mapping APIs simply cannot address. His product philosophy centers on making enterprise-grade location intelligence genuinely accessible, configurable, and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes — from growing HVAC fleets to global logistics platforms.

Ajay Bulusu, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Ajay Bulusu

Co-Founder

Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai and a driving force behind the company's vision to make sophisticated location technology work for real operational businesses. His journey began at Grab's Geo team in 2017, where he and his co-founders encountered firsthand the limitations of existing mapping and routing solutions — systems that were expensive, rigid, and built for generic use cases rather than the nuanced demands of field service, logistics, and fleet operations. That experience shaped the founding philosophy of NextBillion.ai: build location intelligence that businesses can truly customize and afford. Under Ajay's leadership, the company has grown to serve 150+ businesses globally, delivered over $11 million in cost savings to customers, and optimized more than 10.9 million deliveries and field service tasks.

Shaolin Zheng, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Shaolin Zheng

Co-Founder

Shaolin Zheng co-founded NextBillion.ai alongside Ajay Bulusu and Gaurav Bubna after the three collaborated as part of Grab's pioneering Geo team in 2017. That shared experience — building location technology at one of Southeast Asia's largest ride-hailing and logistics platforms — gave Shaolin a deep understanding of the gap between what enterprise routing technology could do and what most businesses could actually access and afford. At NextBillion.ai, Shaolin brings technical depth and a relentless focus on reliability to the platform infrastructure that powers field service optimization for HVAC operators, delivery fleets, and mobility platforms worldwide. The platform reflects his commitment to building routing APIs that are both powerful enough for enterprise scale and practical enough for real operational teams to deploy and trust.
