What it takes to make AI agents enterprise-ready
Columbia DAP Lab × Purple Fabric
Aditya Rajashekaran
I build the first usable version of the future. Then I write the playbook.
My operating system is simple: find the future that hasn't been named yet, build the first thing that works there, then write the story so others can join. Eleven years, a few different industries, always the same reflex. The AI era just made the cycles shorter.

About
The short version
I build the first usable version of things and turn them into stories, playbooks, and experiences others can join. Eleven years of the same pattern: VR life-insurance at MetLife before the category had a name, the first production LLM in regulated finance, six solo builds shipped in the last sixteen months. Oxford MBA. Occidental College, Economics and Film.
