Different disciplines.
One question.

IntelliLight is being built by people who arrived at the same question from neuroscience, from engineering and from economics: what changes when the environment itself is treated as something that can be designed?

01 / Founder

Pahul Sachdeva

The question came first. The company came after it.

Pahul Sachdeva is the founder and original creator of IntelliLight. Her background is in neuroscience, with a particular interest in the relationship between human behavior, cognition and the physical environments in which people work, learn and live.

IntelliLight originated in her honors senior-year thesis, where she spent an extended period examining questions around environmental conditions, cognition and performance. That research became the intellectual starting point for the company.

Pahul now holds a separate full-time professional role and works at IntelliLight in a selective, founder-level capacity, holding the central thesis, the brand direction and the longer arc of the vision, while the active technical development of the concept is increasingly led by Shayan.

02 / Founding Technical Engineer

Shayan Bhatti

Turning a thesis into something testable, buildable and real.

Shayan Bhatti is IntelliLight's Founding Technical Engineer and currently leads much of the company's active technical development and analytical build-out.

He also functions as IntelliLight's resident data analyst, building the evidence and measurement infrastructure behind the product, the work that decides what gets built, what gets tested, how information is structured and which assumptions survive contact with validation.

The point is not dashboards. The point is that research, behavioral information and product testing become structured evidence that can change the product.

Aizaz Faisal

Hardware makes its decisions early. Someone has to model them.

Aizaz Faisal leads IntelliLight's financial strategy and evaluates how an experimental technology becomes a commercially viable hardware business.

His work connects financial strategy, unit economics, pricing, commercial modeling, business planning and scalability.

In hardware, decisions about components, manufacturing, pricing and distribution carry consequences far earlier than they do in software, which makes commercial modeling part of the product conversation, not a downstream exercise.
