ABOUT ANURAG KARUPARTI
Senior AI Architect at Microsoft | AI Strategist | Author | LinkedIn Learning Instructor | Mentor | Marathon Runner I’m a Senior AI Architect at Microsoft, where I help Fortune 500 leaders design secure, responsible, and scalable AI solutions on Microsoft Azure. My work spans finance, media, gaming, and telecom - bringing real-world impact across industries. Before Microsoft, I honed my consulting skills at PwC and EY, solving complex challenges and learning how to deliver measurable value. That foundation now shapes how I drive AI adoption at enterprise scale. I’m the author of Generative AI for Cloud Solutions, a book that’s become one of the top recommended reads for AI Architects and Engineers on ChatGPT and Perplexity. I also produced a course on LinkedIn Learning,\" How to use AI Reasoning Models - Practical Applications with Hands-on Exercises\". My course reached learners globally with very good reviews and is one of the most popular courses in its category. In 2024, I was recognized as a Microsoft PaceSetter for leadership and innovation. I continue to give back as a mentor with the Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI), supporting the next generation of professionals. Outside of work, I’m a marathon runner and lifelong learner, always looking for new challenges, whether on the track or in technology.
