Vrajesh is co-founder and CEO at Operant AI. Operant AI is a holistic AI security platform, helping organizations discover, detect, and defend AI deployments. Operant raised a $10 million dollar Series A last fall from Felicis and SineWave, and the company continues to expand its offerings within AI security. Before Operant, Vrajesh worked at Apple, Qualcomm, Arm, and Scaled Inference, rounding out an exceptionally technical background with several quality technology companies. In the episode we discuss his career transition from extremely technical, kernel-level engineering to management, how he thinks about timing a market, and how the vision for Operant's product was cemented from day one rather than bolted together over time.
