Meet the Makers
Series Creator
Rajesh Lalwani
Rajesh is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who accidentally got two master’s degrees in Computer Science—one from IIT, Delhi and another from the Penn State University—and has been building cool stuff ever since. He helped invent birthday reminders on Facebook (yes, those ones) with his startup Social Calendar, which grew to millions of users, partnered with Hallmark, and was acquired by Walmart.
These days, he’s the founder of Tinyview—a platform for bite-sized comics, served daily—and the creator of In Science We Trust, a comic series that turns brilliant scientists into page-turning heroes. With over 30 stories already published, he’s now on a mission to bring them to life in print, starting with Volume 1 – Unlocking the Universe.
