Saurabh Tripathy

Saurabh Tripathy is an AI/ML leader, writer, and self-described lifelong trier of things. Across more than fifteen years at Apple, IBM Research and Adobe, he climbed the ladder, collected the titles, and slowly became a stranger to his own life , until a single phone call made him realize he couldn't name one memorable thing from an entire year.

The Year You Can't Summarize is his debut, and it's what came after that silence: part memoir, part field guide for the millions of people who are succeeding on paper and sleepwalking through everything else. It won't tell you to quit or go find yourself on a beach : it's honest advice from someone still inside the building.

Raised in Varanasi, India, Saurabh now lives in California with his wife, Deepika, and their son. Outside work he plays competitive cricket, learns tabla on Monday nights, and keeps taking swings at guitar, keyboard, dance, and Spanish : anything that keeps life from feeling like a loop. As a child he memorized the Oxford pocket dictionary, and he still believes ignorance is bliss only until it isn't.
