WASHINGTON: Indian-American Aneesh Chopra, who was appointed by President Barack Obama as America's first chief technology officer, has co-founded a data and analytics company aimed at healthcare, education and energy sectors.

Chopra, 41, who stepped down from his White House job to run an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Virginia, co-founded Hunch Analytics based in Arlington, a Washington suburb in neighbouring Virginia, last October.

Details about the company are scarce beyond what's stated on its website and on social networks, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the story.

The Post said Chopra declined to comment for the story, saying in an e-mail to the newspaper that Hunch Analytics is still in "stealth mode".

The new company "empowers leaders in industries such as healthcare and education to utilise newly liberated data sets for faster, fact-based decisions about their organisation", according to the start-up's website.
