Srikanth Nadhamuni

I started out designing microprocessors at Sun Microsystems and Intel, working on the SPARC and Pentium chips. From hardware I moved into systems at Silicon Graphics and then into healthcare at WebMD, one of the first attempts to use the internet to change how patients and doctors connect. In 2002, I moved back to India and co-founded the eGovernments Foundation with Nandan Nilekani, helping cities build digital infrastructure. That led to my role as founding CTO of Aadhaar, where I helped set up the tech center and helped architect a platform that today gives a digital identity to over a billion people and underpins India's digital economy.

Since Aadhaar, I've worked at the intersection of technology and public good—co-founding Khosla Labs with Vinod Khosla, serving on the board of HDFC Bank, and building health systems during the pandemic. Through the 10BedICU project and the CARE platform, we've connected rural ICUs to specialists and scaled critical care to hundreds of hospitals. Most recently, I joined the Government of India's Apex Committee for AI Centers of Excellence, bringing together my journey from chips to AI to design digital public goods for entire populations.
