Kapil Kane

on a lifelong journey of learning & exploration

Hello, नमस्ते and 你好,
My name is Kapil Kane, Welcome to my website where I intend to share my world and my thought with you.
I was born and brought up in the tiny seaside province (state) of Goa in India. After getting my engineering degree in the year 2000 from National Institute of Technology- Karnataka, I went to work at Tata and soon moved to the US where I got my Masters from Stanford University. I was enrolled in the PhD program there but soon dropped out to go work at Apple where I designed the very first multi-touch screen that became the basis for iPhone. I went on to lead the design of many products there including the MacBook, iMac, iPod and the iPad.
In 2011, I left Apple & joined Intel to design products for the emerging markets and bring technology into the hands of the less fortunate. Having worked in various design & technology roles, I am currently the Director of Innovation at Intel China where I orchestrate the China-wide innovation strategy for our 10k+ strong employee base. Among various innovation initiatives I'm involved in, I co-founded and run GrowthX, the multi-award- winning corporate innovation accelerator.
In 2007, while working on MacBook Air, I moved to China to be close to the manufacturing & I have been based out of Shanghai ever since. I live here with my wife May, son Keyan and our dog QQ. Outside of work, I love to travel, hike, run, read and learn. In my free time, I advise startups and share my experiences with the community through giving talks at large conferences or intimate gatherings, guest-lecturing at business schools, giving podcast interviews and more.
I hope you find the information on this website useful and that it ignites curiosity in you to learn something new. Message me with thoughts and feedback.
Cheers,Kapil
