Bio

Sanjay's been hacking away on a computer as far back as he can remember (perks of his mom and dad both being programmers). He studied Physics at IIT Madras and was working towards a PhD on Network Effects at MIT before dropping out to start Rune. Rune combines all his passions -- gaming, social networks and some hardcore Software engineering. Outside of work, Sanjay loves to run, bike, play the guitar and of course code some more / blog about coding :)
