Frequently Asked Questions

NextBillion.ai is an enterprise-grade, AI-powered mapping and route optimization platform. The company builds customizable routing, navigation, and tracking APIs that help businesses—across logistics, field services, and transportation—solve highly complex, constraint-rich operational challenges that traditional consumer map providers cannot handle.

The company was founded in 2020 by Ajay Bulusu, Gaurav Bubna, and Shaolin Zheng. The founders previously led the Geo team at Grab (Southeast Asia's largest ride-hailing app), where they realized off-the-shelf map APIs were too rigid and expensive for enterprise operations. The broader leadership team brings decades of location-tech experience from giants like Google Maps, Uber, Apple, and TomTom.

In late 2025, NextBillion.ai began a new chapter by joining forces with Velocitor Solutions, a recognized leader in enterprise telematics and fleet management platform. Today, NextBillion.ai operates as a core part of a unified ecosystem, blending its AI-driven mapping expertise with Velocitor’s real-time visibility platforms to power global fleet operations at scale.

NextBillion.ai has a strong global footprint. Our primary offices are located in:
  • United States
  • Singapore
  • India

Our engineering and product teams tackle problems that haven't been solved at this scale before. You will build algorithms and products that handle complex constraints like multi-depot routing, skills-based technician dispatching, hours-of-service compliance, and permit-aware truck routing. To date, the platform has optimized tens of millions of tasks and navigated hundreds of millions of miles.

The culture is built on a macro-management philosophy. Employees are given a high degree of ownership and are expected to actively participate in decision-making. We value creative disruptors and mission-driven problem solvers. Because the team spans multiple continents, over-communication and continuous feedback are highly encouraged.

Diversity is critical to building AI models that serve global needs. Our team is a unique blend of different cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. To keep everyone connected across time zones, we hold weekly global meetings, open town halls, and wellness and cultural sessions so the team can unwind and grow together.

While the exact steps vary by role, a standard interview loop includes:
  • Recruiter Screen: A high-level chat about your background, expectations, and cultural alignment.
  • Technical/Role-Specific Assessment: Coding rounds for engineers, or portfolio/case-study reviews for product and business roles.
  • Cross-Functional Interviews: Conversations with team members to assess problem-solving skills and domain knowledge.
  • Leadership Round: A final discussion with a founder or senior leader.

Our technology is trusted by over 200 businesses globally, ranging from disruptive startups to Fortune 500 titans. We serve a wide variety of industries, including trucking, last-mile delivery, waste collection, non-emergency medical transport (NEMT), construction, and field services.

Because we are actively challenging the status quo in location technology, you will be thrown into the deep end. Employees are consistently challenged to take on ambitious, unprecedented projects. If you want to solve hard problems and scale your skills exponentially, NextBillion.ai provides the platform to do so.
