Prathap Chowdry
Founder & Principal — TurnStac
With over 20 years of engineering leadership, Prathap has built and scaled AI-powered cloud-native platforms across multiple domains. A specialist in OTT streaming, AI/ML-based video products, and platform engineering, he has architected and launched products operating at massive scale across Asia Pacific, North America, EMEA, and Latin America.
Prathap is a hands-on AI and technology leader with deep expertise in AI strategy, architecture, and production-grade AI systems. He specialises in designing and delivering AI-native platforms, LLM and agentic systems, and cloud-native microservices that run reliably at enterprise scale.
He brings hands-on leadership across the full AI lifecycle — from AI strategy and data foundations to building end-to-end MLOps/LLMOps pipelines, autonomous agents, and GenAI-powered products. His work spans LLMs, RAG, multi-modal GenAI, intelligent code assistants, recommender engines, and AI-driven search platforms.
His expertise extends to building and scaling high-performance engineering organisations, managing global R&D centres, and leading product development across the full technology stack — from embedded systems and CPE devices to AI-first cloud platforms. Core domains include cloud & application architecture, AI/ML (Agentic AI, Agentic Frameworks, Agentic Protocols, LLMs, GenAI, RAG, Code Agents), data pipelines, video encoding, streaming analytics, and broadband platform engineering.
