Here’s Our Story
How Esper Got Started
Every engineering project starts with infrastructure. After our CEO and Founder, Yadhu Gopalan, built the underlying infrastructure for multiple products at Microsoft and then Amazon Go, FireTV, Kindle, and Alexa, he asked, why can’t I just build this once and let everyone use it? He joined forces with former colleague Shiv Sundar to found Esper, both had spent decades of their careers at the intersection of hardware and software and have watched the DevOps revolution unfold. Esper’s DevOps platform incorporates the functionality cloud developers love, re-imagined for devices.
Esper was purpose-built by enterprise engineers, for engineers,
to simplify the enterprise Android device ecosystem.
