About

[ 02 / Bio ]
Deepa Bharadwaj STANFORD ROBOTICS CENTER

Product strategy, technical depth, design craft.

I have a background in 0→1 product development, user-centered design, and business strategy. I'm currently an MBA candidate at Stanford (Class of 2026).

Most recently at Intrinsic (Google X robotics), I built developer-facing tools and workflows for roboticists — making it faster for teams to set up, deploy, and scale physical robotic workcells.

Previously, as a founding member at Steelcase's Digital Innovation Lab, I helped drive the company's post-pandemic shift from physical products to digital experiences. I led a 22-person cross-functional team to launch an industry-first AI-powered Configurator that transformed the online buying journey and generated $100M+ in revenue.
