Leadership Comments

"Running infrastructure at Salesforce taught me that teams were always forced to choose between moving fast or staying reliable," said Kartik Chandrayana, CEO of empirik.ai. Now, AI coding agents are shipping software at machine speed, but infrastructure is still managed by hand. You cannot put autonomous software upstream of manual infrastructure and expect the system to hold.

"Managing infrastructure complexity is a problem that founders Avon Puri and Sudheer Dhurjati have faced throughout their careers, and one that I am intimately familiar with from my many years at VMware," said Bogomil Balkansky, Partner at Sequoia Capital. "That shared conviction is why Sequoia incubated empirik.ai.
