Priyanka Kulkarni, aged 34, leveraged her nine-year personal visa journey and technical experience at Microsoft to found Casium, an AI-driven startup designed to simplify the employment-based US visa process.
Casium’s technology allows employers and applicants to navigate H-1B, O-1 and EB-1A filing processes by inputting candidate data, after which the AI analyses qualifications, generates tailored visa strategies, and automates draft documentation, reducing timelines from typical three-to-six-month procedures to under ten business days in many cases.
Kulkarni’s startup highlights a growing intersection of immigration and technology, addressing pain-points such as data drag, policy shifts, and high costs through automation, error-checking, and workflow integration.
With Casium, Kulkarni hopes to democratize access to global employment opportunities, especially for Indian professionals, and to make complex visa systems more transparent, faster and less reliant on traditional law-firm bottlenecks.
