About the Founder Guna Kakulapati is the Co-founder & CEO of CureSkin. The CureSkin app came out of a personal need when his son was diagnosed with a serious skin condition.

He worked in the US for over 11 years in top tech companies (Google, Amazon). He holds 14 patents for several technology innovations, he was part of the team that launched Amazon AWS and its several key technology components. Ramakrishna R is the co-founder & CTO of CureSkin. He pioneered the use of Artificial Intelligence to identify and monitor outcomes for various skin conditions through photos taken on mobile phones. At CureSkin, he specialises in the use of deep learning-based Computer Vision. In collaboration with dermatologists, CureSkin uses technology also to develop evidence-based personalised treatments. Ramakrishna graduated with a B-Tech in Computer Science and attended Stanford for further specialization. He has worked in Google (both US and India) for over 10 years in several deep-technology teams and in leadership roles. He was instrumental in several core projects such Google Search, Maps, and applications of AI in spam detection, YouTube etc. Dr. Charu Sharma, Co-founder & Head of Dermatology at Cureskin leads the medical team.
