As a researcher, Aniket had to review and analyze a lot of dense text, which all the way back in 2006, made him think: why can’t this be easier?Graduating with a PhD, Aniket continued to work as a scientist, but couldn’t shake that idea. He eventually went to business school and, in 2018, met his to-be business partner to start tinkering with AI-based tech to synthesize dense text-based documentation.After a few failed attempts, they landed on Legal. Today they synthesize and summarize arbitration, litigation and trial, help with FOIA requests, and more.So, here’s what we’re going to talk about:🔹 Aniket’s early life in India (with some immigration as a child) and grad school in the US.🔹 How Aniket’s entrepreneurial instincts kept coming up even as his career advanced.🔹 Aniket’s business school journey, getting his EB-1B, and eventually launching Threadeo.🔹 What Threadeo does today, where the product is going, and immigration and legal tech thoughts.And more!So please join us, ask questions and leave comments!#immigration #immigrationlaw #legaltech #litigation #lawfirms----Check out Threadeo here: https://threadeo.com/Follow Aniket on LinkedIn here:   / aniketsawant  Digital marketing for immigration & global mobility firms at GMI Rocket: https://gmirocket.com/​Digitize your LCA posting and PAF process with LaborLess: https://laborless.io/
