Prashant Kumar is a founder and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building high-performance, scalable web and AI-centric systems from India. As Partner at Nativebyte and CTO/Co-Founder at Planck Red, he builds enterprise AI platforms and sustainable edge data center solutions that bridge large language models, visual intelligence and near-site inference. He has a strong track record of architecting distributed, high-throughput systems—previously designing ad servers, event-tracking and API aggregation platforms handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second. A pragmatic coder who still enjoys hands-on development, he combines product-minded engineering with a passion for open source and technology for the commons. He’s also an entrepreneur in circular-economy tech (WeekendWorks/Junkart) and a Startup Leadership Program fellow, reflecting both operational grit and community-focused ambition. Less obvious: he pairs deep systems experience with a long-standing curiosity about cognitive systems and agentic AI, positioning him to move research-driven ideas into production-ready systems.
