Why you should listen
Anand Agarawala is a Nigerian-born, Indian-Canadian entrepreneur, product designer and technologist. He founded BumpTop, which was acquired by Google in 2010. BumpTop is a 3D desktop user interface inspired by real desks using physics and multi-touch gestures. It started as Agarawala's master's thesis in human-computer interaction at the University of Toronto; it was presented at TED the following year and remains one of the most viewed technology demos of all time.
At Google, Agarawala worked on early versions of the home screen and core user interface on Android. He also led an effort to reboot the design of the Google+ mobile apps. He was later team lead at the Google New York Creative Lab (and modeled for Bergdorf Goodman)! He has been awarded seven patents and was named one of the "Top Entrepreneurs in Technology" by Businessweek.
