Anish Karan is Co-Founder and CEO of Sol Foundry, an agentic AI startup building a proactive email assistant that identifies commitments users make in their inbox and automatically begins executing the work without waiting for a prompt.

Anish holds a Bachelor of Technology from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka and built his career across CRED, Paysafe Group, Ola, and HopCar (acquired by Spinny), gaining deep expertise in product and fintech.

At CRED, Anish served as Product Lead for CRED Money, acting as an in-house co-founder and leading the product from zero to one, sharpening his instinct for building high-conviction, user-first products.

Sol Foundry emerged from stealth in 2025 with a $4M seed round backed by General Catalyst, Nexus Venture Partners, DeVC, Peercheque, and CRED founder Kunal Shah, targeting founders, executives, and high-volume email professionals.

Sol's platform integrates with Google Workspace, draws on a library of over 100 specialist skills, and has already onboarded more than 100 users on its pre-launch waitlist, signaling strong early demand for proactive AI in the workplace.
