About Durga Halaharvi

Your AI is only as smart as the data you feed it.Every organization today faces the same reality: they need to leverage AI to remain competitive, drive efficiency, and unlock new revenue. But most struggle to move beyond isolated POCs because their underlying data infrastructure isn\'t ready for the demands of production-grade AI. I help organizations overcome this hurdle by aligning their AI strategy with a robust data foundation.Through The Data Product, I partner with B2B leaders to define high-impact AI strategies and build the modern data platforms required to execute them.I help you address the two biggest challenges in tech right now:AI/ML Strategy: I help you cut through the hype to identify where AI creates real business value, whether that\'s monetizing new features or automating costly operations, and provide the roadmap to get there (n8n agents, adopting AI tools such as Cursor, re-designing human-in-the-loop workflows, etc.)Data Platform Modernization: I guide the architecture of scalable engines (Data Mesh, Lakehouse, ELT) to ensure your models are fed by trusted, governed, and high-quality data.Learn more:
