Neeraj Bhardwaj is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Product Officer of Loto Labs. Loto Labs was created with the simple goal of creating the best vaporizer possible. We formed our company in Redwood City, CA, where all of us met through our love of recreational ice hockey. From there, we discovered that none of us were happy with the vaporizers
we used. We soon realized that all four of us had lots of experience in different fields that when put together would create an ideal company to make the best possible product out there.
He received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University and and MBA from Santa Clara University. Neeraj has worked in sales and business development for 10 years in ultrasonics and medical worldwide. Wanting a change in life, he decided to attend Santa Clara University and get on the startup track. After graduate school, he and some of his cohort decided to start a bank to bank instant payment platform. Searching for investment, they latched on to the concept of crowdfunding. After working with his legal team, he worked to change the current crowdfunding laws and pass reforms. During that time he came up with the idea for the Evoke Vaporizer, and started Loto Labs (www.lotolabs.com). He and his team raised over $225,000 crowdfunding via Indiegogo (igg.me/at/evoke).
Now Neeraj and his team are working diligently to get their product, the Evoke, up and running. He is married to a marketing manager at Ebay Inc. His parents started and run a high tech manufacturing company in State College, PA where Neeraj was born.
