Jayakumar Gorla

Jay, as he is fondly called, has over 20 years of experience in the industry. As the co-founder and the Chief Operating Officer at Cerium Systems is responsible for overall operations of the company. His leadership has been focused on developing and delivering technology-driven business services and solutions, providing outstanding customer service and team growth and retention.

He is a people’s leader with a focus on detail and one who balances a breadth of experience and knowledge with an ability to manage strategically.

He began his career with Wipro in 1999 as ASIC design engineer and within five years, was responsible for end-to-end chip delivery. After a decade-long tenure, he started NVLogic Technologies in 2008, an engineering service provider in the field of VLSI design that offered services in ASIC front-end and FPGA implementation areas. In 2011, the Company merged with SiCon Design Technologies and there he led the IC design and verification group for more than a year. But his entrepreneurial spirit and complementary skillset, made him join hands with Sudhakar Palisetti to start Cerium Systems in 2013.

He got his Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics from SV University, Tirupati in 1998.

Born in 1973, Jay believes in leading from the background and honesty being unconditional. He is a firm believer in what he was told as a child, ‘never cross the line’. Apart from chips, Jay finds his pleasure and passion in Physics and Cosmology. Being a teacher’s son, he recognizes the joy of learning and igniting the light of knowledge in students.

Jay lives in Bangalore with his wife, Veni, a medical professional.
