Radhika Patil is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cradlewise, a San Francisco-based baby tech company building the world's first AI-powered smart crib that soothes babies back to sleep at the first signs of waking, usable from birth to 24 months.

Born and raised in India, Radhika earned an engineering degree and a Master's in Electronics from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, then built over eight years of semiconductor industry expertise at Qualcomm and Marvell Semiconductor.

A mother of two, Radhika was personally inspired by the sleepless struggles of new parenthood to engineer a technology-first solution; she is a Forbes Technology Council member and a QDIC 2018 winner.

Radhika co-founded Cradlewise with her husband and CTO Bharath Patil, joining the prestigious HAX hardware accelerator in 2019 and raising $8M+ in seed funding from top investors including Footwork, CRV, SOSV, and Andreessen Horowitz.

Cradlewise was named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2020, won a CES 2022 Innovations Award, earned a public endorsement from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and was ranked the second fastest-growing company of 2024 by Exploding Topics with 5,200% five-year search growth.
