Rahul Aggarwal is the General Manager of Customer Engagement Business Unit at Janrain, Inc. Prior to joining Janrain in November 2014, he was the CEO and Co-Founder of Arktan, Inc., a Silicon Valley company that pioneered a real-time engagement platform for brands. Before Arktan, Rahul was a Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks,[1] where he led the adoption and development of Internet routing technologies deployed across the industry. Rahul has played a significant role in the development of IP routing, MPLS, VPN, and other data center technologies, and is known for pioneering multicast in MPLS and BGP VPNs. Rahul holds over 40 patents and over 25 Internet drafts and RFCs.

Career

Rahul Aggarwal started his career at Fore Systems in 1998 and then worked at Redback Networks, where he was the primary MPLS architect on the SE800 platform.[2][3] While at Redback he co-invented Point-to-Multipoint MPLS RSVP-TE. P2MP MPLS TE was the stepping stone in MPLS Multicast development and is widely deployed today by global Internet Service Providers to transport broadcast video. Rahul joined Juniper Networks in 2003 and continued to pioneer P2MP RSVP-TE, which grew into RFC 4875, which he co-edited.[4]

After Juniper Networks, Rahul co-founded Arktan, Inc., and served as the company's CEO and Co-Founder. In November 2014 Arktan was acquired by Janrain, Inc., and Rahul joined Janrain as the company's General Manager of Customer Engagement Business Unit.

Rahul has significant innovations in the area of multicast in BGP/MPLS VPNs, which have been standardized in the IETF.[5] He has been granted several patents in the area of multicast in BGP/MPLS VPNs.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

Rahul is the co-author of several other IETF Internet drafts and RFCs in the areas of MPLS, IP Routing, VPNs, and VPLS.[16][17]

Rahul's other issued patents include.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]

Education

Rahul Aggarwal received his B.E. in Electronics and Communication from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 1996 and his M.S. in Computer Science from University of Minnesota in 1998.[2]
