Anshika Srivastava is co-founder and COO of Apoha, building the data class that lets machines sense the physical world. She began in finance, rising to executive director at Goldman Sachs, where she managed the UK engineering launch of Marcus. She then partnered with physicist Shamit Shrivastava, who spent 10 years studying how matter behaves at its interfaces, to turn that physics into a data class the world had never had. Machines can read every sentence ever written but have never touched, tasted or smelled a thing. Molecular science has the same blind spot: it maps what molecules are made of, not how they behave. Apoha is building that missing layer, backed by Singular, Draper, Redalpine, Seedcamp, Nucleus Capital and Wilbe, with Boehringer Ingelheim as anchor partner.
