Ramu worked with the Computer Science faculty to establish the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences (CDIS) at UW-Madison. The School of CDIS was announced in September 2019, and the new building groundbreaking ceremony was in April 2023. He helped set up a Development Director office for the Department of Computer Science, the first in 50 years of the department. Ramu also worked on the Badger Entrepreneurship Forum (http://siliconvalleybadgers.com) to create a community for entrepreneurial Badgers in Silicon Valley.

Genies is a metaverse service. EatStreet is an online ordering platform that connects restaurants with diners. Scanalytics is an IoT service for foot traffic.

Synqq is an AI Voice Assistant for Meetings. A mobile and web application with an AI Assistant to capture voice conversations in real-time, automatically transcribe to text with highlights, and share with your team. We realized that AI Agents would be the next-gen UX for every software app and took the pivot to Alan AI.

Skype acquired Qik, and later Skype was sold to Microsoft. Skype had evolved with PCs as end clients and peer-to-peer infrastructure. Qik evolved with mobile-only users and cloud infrastructure. Integrated the Qik to Skype Mobile and Cloud offerings.

• Ramu co-founded Qik with two of the best minds he worked with at Oracle. Bootstrapping Qik out of his garage for the first year, he then assembled the starting team in US and Russia. He envisioned and built the world’s first cloud-assisted live streaming (to augment peer-to-peer) technology for mobile phones. Built live video streaming cloud service with US, EU, and Singapore data centers. • Qik Launched the game-changing mobile-to-web live streaming service directly to consumers in early 2008 and evangelized to bloggers to use the service to break the news faster and leverage their communities on the Web. During Qik’s early market forays, it achieved many industry awards and accolades, including the Nokia Forum Top-10 Innovation, Wall-Street Journal Top-10 Mobile Application, Hollywood’s Variety Innovators of the Decade, and ranked #2 paid app in App-store in '10 among others. This explosive media coverage helped Qik develop a brand that rapidly became a familiar name within just one year! • Raised $16M in financing: the first round with a working prototype, the second when the Qik service was launched to consumers from Silicon Valley angels, the third during the depths of the financial meltdown in 2009 from Venture Investors, and the fourth in fall 2010 from Venture Investors. • Developed partnerships with distribution revenues from 13+ operators in the US, Japan, and South Korea with preloads on 55+ OEM phones from Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sharp, Softbank, and Dell.• Qik was the market leader for mobile video when it was acquired by Skype.

• Championed the idea and then started the product division in 2001 to establish Oracle as a player in the Real-Time Data and Voice communications (RTC) market using the web as the platform. Ramu then foresaw the ability to use the Internet for real-time communications and was convinced of this opportunity to lead a major initiative at Oracle. • Recruited the starting team, launched Oracle Web Conferencing, Oracle Real-Time Collaboration Products with three major S/W releases in 4+ years. Expanded the product offering to include Presence, IM, VoIP (SIP Signaling, Voice Chat, Voice Conferencing). Acquired 3CUBE for data collaboration technology, signed deals with Jabber for XMPP infrastructure, Radvision for SIP and Spirit DSP for variable bit-rate voice codec and echo-cancellation to expedite the time to market. • Grew the division from scratch to over $50M in annual license revenues in 4+ years and to three hundred employees. In the meantime, Skype and WebEx had already become dominant market players with disruptive SaaS model.• Served on the five-people Oracle Architecture Board reporting to the CEO on the product architecture, roadmaps and acquisitions.

• Recruited by the Oracle Product Management Committee to lead browser-based Consumer (CRM) Applications with the advent of the Web. • Led the Business Applications Technology & Architecture to evolve the JAVA + HTML Technology stack for Business Applications by doing four major software releases in 18 months. All Browser-enabled Oracle Applications (Sales, Support, Ecommerce, Contracts and Call-center solutions) used the 3-tier software infrastructure. • Identified and then worked with 80+ Early Adopters in the US, EU and Japan.

• Proposed the idea to leverage PC server platform in 1994 to build Oracle fault-tolerant and scalable database solutions at 1/10th the price for comparable solutions from Tandem, Sun, HP, and IBM. Ramu then foresaw the upcoming shift to client/server-based computing with increasingly more affordable PCs and server installations.• Secured internal funding from Oracle Product Management Committee and assembled the first cluster using iSCSI and recruited Digital VAX Cluster architects to build the team and demonstrated the concept in just nine months. Wrote the software for distributed lock manager, cache coherency, storage I/O, and 3-Phase commit configuration management algorithms for Oracle Cluster Database Solution, for which he owns two patents.• Rolled out the early versions of the Cluster database solution to over 1500 customers in the US and Europe in just 18 months. Augmented the product group with Program Management to work with over dozen PC OEMs and pre-sales and post-sales support in US, EU and JAPAN to reach over $500M in sales in five years. Oracle Parallel Server was renamed Oracle Grid from 2004, and, today is the market leader in the scalable and fault-tolerant database solutions with over $3B in annual sales.

• Ramu recruited a team of 40 Unix and VMS programmers (including the original developers of VMS operating system) to develop the world’s first 64-Bit RDBMS on Digital Alpha OSF/1 platform. • Although the Relational Database product was ahead of the 32-bit implementations from Oracle, Sybase, and Informix in the market, it had very few tools to manage, and Digital failed to make the needed transition to UNIX solutions to make this a success. Digital eventually sold the database division and assets to Oracle late 1994 for $180M.

• Designed and built the Relational Database products (RdbAccess family) that provided SQL Access to Non-Relational data. Ramu authored and also rewrote the SQL DML and DDL layers, and access to metadata and data, providing ACID transactional semantics. This work resulted in two patents on Query Optimization. • Worked with Field Sales to sell RdbAccess products to Enterprises having data in Digital file systems (RMS), Codasyl systems (DBMS), and MUMPS databases, reaching over 15,000 installations in five years.
