CEO & Co-Founder at Sanas
📍 Palo Alto, California, United States

Sharath Keshava Narayana is a serial entrepreneur and investor, having co-founded Voice AI leader Observe.AI and accent translation platform Sanas. Now a General Partner at Carya Venture Partners, he specializes in SaaS go-to-market strategy and scaling tech companies. People who have worked with him describe him as hard-working, diligent, and an excellent relationship-builder.

His professional passion is deeply rooted in personal experience. Early in his career, he worked in a call center where he was required to go through accent training and adopt the pseudo-name "Nathan," which he felt erased a part of his identity. This experience directly fueled his mission to solve communication barriers.

His early experience in a call center inspired him to later co-found Sanas, a company using AI to harmonize accents in real-time.
