Krishna Bagadia is a founder and CTO with 12 years of experience building AI-aware security products, currently leading Aurva to provide real-time, query-level data access monitoring across cloud and AI environments. He combines deep technical roots from IIT Kharagpur and Carnegie Mellon in computer security with hands-on leadership shaped by building security-focused software at Meta. Krishna’s work uniquely ties identities (humans, services, or AI agents) to database activity to surface misuse, overprivilege, and agentic access while preserving operational continuity and auditability. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends startup execution with enterprise-grade compliance thinking, and Aurva’s backing by Nexus and senior industry operators underscores his ability to turn security research into investor- and customer-ready products. An avid coder and aspiring researcher, he still engages directly with engineering and design decisions rather than purely managing from the top.
