Pratyusha Vemuri — Founder
Founder & CEO at RaptorX.ai - building a precision-first intelligence layer for fraud detection across banks and fintechs. We focus on discovering patterns before they become losses, using real-time, adaptive signals instead of stale rules or post-facto alerts. My background spans Microsoft, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, and Akamai - where I led global product, risk, and strategy teams across security and infrastructure. Those years taught me how large systems think, and where they fall short when faced with speed, intent, and scale. RaptorX emerged from a need I saw again and again: banks were being asked to fight increasingly complex fraud with disconnected tools, static thresholds, or outsourced black-box models. We’re changing that by building explainable intelligence that adapts, learns, and shows its work. We’re early in our U.S. movement, with deep momentum across India, and backed by signal-rich angels who understand what it takes to build enduring infrastructure. I’m also an author and early-stage investor - drawn to people and products that don’t need to shout to be seen.
