Leadership Comments

“Today, organizations are already spending as much on AI as they do on cloud infrastructure, but unlike the cloud, they may have no idea where that money is going,” said Prashant Jalan, founder of Guickly. “When I was leading an Applied AI team at Google and making products for billions of people, I traced where every cycle and every byte was going.

“I’ve been following Prashant’s career trajectory for years and knew he has the education, experience, ambition, and most importantly, the commercial instinct to build an enduring company,” said Ashmeet Sidana, Chief Engineer, Engineering Capital. “Enterprise AI expenses are skyrocketing, and Prashant has built an easy way for enterprises to understand AI usage, financial expenditures, and access across the organization.
