My condolences to family and friends. I’ve been reading Om’s blog for years and always enjoyed his insight, and especially his interweaved creative endeavors. His photography has always been striking. He’ll be missed.

Om was such a force around innovation throughout the early 2000s.. I relied on his writing and council as a venture capitalist with Orange Ventures any numerous articles on the work we did throughout the early days of Android. He had a talent for honing it on and distilling leading technologies help others understand their potential. and for the past decade or more it’s been fun to see the world through his lens and his photography posts. May his memory be a blessing.

I didn’t know Om well, but I savored my encounters with him, the last of which was a year ago at WWDC. He had been doing the best writing of his life in recent months on this site, and in his absence, we will all understand the tech industry a little less well. I’m so very sorry.

A sad day when we lose one of the most supportive and brightest. He was a father and mentor to the entire Gigaom family, helping us become better writers, and humans, than we thought we could be. I will miss you, Om. Peace to you and yours.

The best.

We never met, never even talked really- just a couple of brief pleasantries exchanged here and there over shared interests… yet this news is like a gut punch. Om was an insightful, steadying voice throughout my time associated with the technology industry- his experience calmed choppy waters, and was often a much needed dose of perspective in a world increasingly happy to focus on style over substance. His essays felt like a throwback in the best possible way, and his passion for elegance and craftsmanship was infectious. I thank him for the gift of his know
