Radhika Patil and Bharath Patil are the wife and husband co-founder team at Cradlewise. It is a “babytech startup” based in San Francisco and Bengaluru, Radhika says.
They offer one of the most sophisticated connected smart cribs that can rock a baby gently back to sleep—thousands of units have been sold in the US—and help parents monitor their child. The potential to build further on this award-winning product is huge, investors agree.
The Patils have master’s degrees in electronics from the Indian Institute of Science. They were classmates, project mates, and then life mates, she says. They both worked in the industry for some years, but entrepreneurship was always close to their heart, she says.
