Founding Story
Arvind Jain is a highly visionary tech entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of the massive enterprise AI search platform, Glean. An absolute veteran of the Silicon Valley elite, Jain spent over a decade as a Distinguished Engineer at Google, leading massive teams across Search, Maps, and YouTube. He later co-founded the multi-billion dollar cloud data management giant Rubrik. While scaling Rubrik, Jain realized that employees were constantly paralyzed by information fragmentation—unable to locate internal documents scattered across dozens of different SaaS apps. In 2019, he partnered with T.R. Vishwanath, Tony Gentilcore, and Piyush Prahladka to found Glean, aggressively leveraging advanced AI to build a unified, highly secure enterprise search engine that completely revolutionizes workplace productivity.
