Kirin Sinha

Kirin Sinha is the Founder and CEO of Illumix, a leading technology company bridging the digital and physical worlds.

Founded in 2017, Illumix is driving the global shift from passive 2D digital experiences to immersive 3D interactions through its seamless cross-platform infrastructure. Illumix has already powered over 300 million digital-physical interactions across web and mobile in the past two years alone.

To date, Illumix has secured $31 million in funding with investors including Mark Cuban, Henry Kravis, Matthew Ball, Lightshed, Lightspeed, Sony and more.

Under Kirin’s leadership, Illumix was listed as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2020, named an honoree in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards, and spotlighted by Google as one of their limited partners for the Depth API to further enhance AR realism. Additionally, Kirin was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 List in 2022.

Kirin is one of the few woman-of-color founders and CEOs in Silicon Valley—even fewer have her technical background and expertise, and this gap has driven the company’s commitment to social change. Kirin received a degree in electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics from MIT and holds advanced degrees in mathematics, statistics, and business from the University of Cambridge, London School of Economics, and Stanford.
