Indian-Origin Founders on Forbes 30-Under-30 List

Kalyani Ramadurgam and Ashi Agrawal, who are of Indian origin, started a company called Kobalt Labs in 2023.

They use smart computer programs to help banks check if their business partners are following the rules.

This helps prevent problems like money being sent from countries that are not allowed.

Because of their hard work, they were named in the Forbes 30-Under-30 list for the United States in 2026.

This list includes young people who have done great things in different fields.

Kalyani used to work at Apple, where she saw that checking rules was very hard and needed to be improved.

So, she and Ashi started Kobalt Labs to make this process easier with the help of computers.

They have raised $13 million and work with important banks.
