Elevator Pitch: Rishi gets tech. Rishi can seed Silicon Valley’s innovation agenda
Rishi lives and breathes the Silicon Valley hi-tech working as Vice President of Software Analytics at a valley software company, bringing immense energy, accomplishments as a community leader and elected official, along with some unique ideas to spark Silicon Valley's innovation economy. Last year, during Rishi’s re-election to Saratoga City Council, Rishi got the most votes in Saratoga’s election history. Remarkable, given that Saratoga’s Indian American population is only 10%.

Rishi’s profile is resonating very well with the voters of this district, who are driven to innovate and “get things done” - just like RIshi has.
