A bold blend of entrepreneurship and imagination.
Dr. Deepak Ravindra, Founder/CEO
“I like to think not just about the ‘what,’ but also the ‘what else?’”
While the road to success is always under construction, dynamic growth is often driven by the team you are orchestrating. This has been a vital motto for founder/CEO Dr. Deepak Ravindra who in just over 5 years has grown Micro-LAM into one of the industry’s most enviable developers of laser-based tools. Deepak’s entrepreneurial spirit was first sparked while serving on a pilot group for Stanford University’s Innovation-Corps program. Today, his leadership is fueling the laser-assisted machining of some of the most challenging materials: glass, crystals, ceramics and hard metals for some of the most challenging industries: defense, aerospace, semiconductor, advanced ceramics and optics. His visions are fueling the future with a special emphasize on positively impacting our daily lives. As Deepak says, “Status quo technology comes from old ideas. We have to see possibility where others don’t so we can think of what’s next.”
