Goldman Sachs selected Payal Kamdar as one of 100 entrepreneurs from multiple industries honored at the two-day event.
"I am honored by this award, and hope to continue to bring innovation and efficiency to my federal government customers," said Payal Kamdar, CEO of VSolvit. "As part of VSolvit’s technology incubator initiative (VTII), we will continue to forge relationships with companies by focusing on emerging technologies. VSolvit’s federal government expertise coupled with newer technologies will provide our federal government customers with a powerful platform for innovation to serve the public."
