Abhishek Goel co-founded CACTUS to bridge the science communication gap between the East and the West. He established Editage, CACTUS’s flagship brand, to help researchers overcome the barriers of language and reach, and get published. After establishing CACTUS’s first international office in Japan, he spearheaded the organization’s growth in Asia, North America, and Europe. Abhishek believes that the natural conclusion of research is making the world a better place. He has led several initiatives to democratize science and make knowledge accessible to all who seek it. He has conceptualized and oversaw the development of R (researcher.life), an ecosystem that simplifies the life of researchers through an array of solutions. In 2020, he supervised the design of a comprehensive AI-powered platform to help researchers across disciplines in their fight against COVID-19. Abhishek is a strong advocate of improving customer experience, and this is reflected in CACTUS’s work culture and customer-friendly policies.
