Summary
Karthik Pelleti is a versatile technologist with 11 years of experience at the intersection of AI, startups, and product growth, currently based in Austin, Texas. He blends hands-on engineering roles and founder experience—co-founding a stealth startup focused on computer-use agents while joining Chakra Labs as Member of Technical Staff and interning in applied AI at The Boring Company. His background spans medical AI research at Harvard Medical School, venture diligence on YC companies, and growth/operations roles that give him a rare mix of technical, product, and go-to-market instincts. Trained in finance and mathematics at UT Austin with international management exposure in Prague, he pairs quantitative rigor with global business sensibility. Karthik is continually exploring deeptech and AI opportunities, maintains a public presence via karthikconnects.com, and gravitated away from a traditional open-source identity (GitHub bio: "nooking"), signaling a focus on domain-specific innovation over broad public contributions.
