Aarthi Ramamurthy

In 2005, Ramamurthy was hired by S. Somasegar at Microsoft, moving to the company's Seattle headquarters in 2007. There, she led part of the Xbox Live team.[6] She later worked at Netflix, where she built the consumer SDK.[6] She also worked at Facebook as a software engineer, where she served as Director of Product leading creator monetization products such as Facebook Stars, subscription and tipping products, and later led Facebook Groups and community governance products.[1][6]

Ramamurthy co-founded True & Co, a lingerie e-commerce company in 2012. The company provides a “big data” approach to fitting bras based on an interactive questionnaire.[7]

She then served as entrepreneur-in-residence at Battery Ventures.[8]

In 2013, she founded Lumoid, a rental/try-before-you-buy service for gadgets such as camera gear and headphones.[9] The company's goal was to allow consumers to test different brands before committing to a purchase.[10] For example, prior to the Apple Watch's launch, over 3,000 people committed to rent the device through Lumoid.[11] Best Buy partnered with Lumoid to power its gear rental program.[12]

In December 2020, Ramamurthy and her husband, Sriram Krishnan, launched the Good Time Show, a Clubhouse talk show. They describe it as "focuse[d] on organic conversations on anything from startups to venture capitalism and cryptocurrencies."[13] An early appearance by Elon Musk on The Good Time Show was described as the first show that “broke Clubhouse”[14] by rapidly exceeding the limit of 5,000 simultaneous users. The desire to interact with a larger community led to a variety of later innovations to allow streaming and replaying of Clubhouse chats. On that episode, Elon Musk grilled Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev regarding the GameStop trading controversy.[15] As of July, 2021, the show had over 175,000 subscribers.[1] During Krishnan's interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg described augmented and virtual reality as the future of work, alluding to the then-unannounced Meta concept. Additional guests have included Tony Hawk, Diane von Furstenberg, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja,[2] Kanye West,[16] and MrBeast.[17]

In 2022, WME signed Ramamurthy and Krishnan for film and TV development projects, as well as other publishing and podcasting ventures.[5]

In 2021, Ramamurthy joined Clubhouse as Head of International,[18] launching 30 languages, creator programs in India and Brazil, and the first Indian app icon.[19]

Ramamurthy has made early-stage investments in technology and growth companies.[20] She has spoken on panels about diversity in technology and product leadership.[21]
