Why He Built Krane:
Krane was born out of Eshan’s first-hand frustration with the inefficiencies he encountered managing complex projects. Working as an active builder in the Bay Area, Eshan understood the challenge of keeping a construction project on track while managing a supply chain in flux. The gaps he observed in the tools available—especially around coordinating supply chains to meet live project needs—became the catalyst for Krane . His journey led him to Stanford GSB, where he co-founded Krane with a team of industry experts, machine learning specialists, and strategic advisors, launching the company in 2022 with a commitment to transforming construction technology.
