Hi everyone 👋 Great to be here.
I’m Rakesh. I’ve spent the last ~22 years building and scaling enterprise data platforms, security systems, and more recently AI and agentic systems—both as a startup CTO and now in large-scale environments.
My current focus is where data governance, AI governance, and real production systems collide:
- Making governance work inside data and AI workflows, not as documentation
- Ownership, decision accountability, and trust in AI-driven outcomes
- Why strong data foundations matter more than models for AI ROI
I joined this community to:
- Learn how others are operationalizing governance (what’s actually working vs. not)
- Exchange practical patterns around data ownership, quality, lineage, and AI readiness
- Share real-world lessons from scaling governance beyond pilots
Looking forward to learning from this group and contributing where I can.
Thanks for having me here.
