About Pranay Karagani

Principal Technical Program Manager with experience leading large-scale AI infrastructure and foundation model training platforms across cloud and hybrid environments. I specialize in owning end-to-end readiness for GPU-based training systems, data governance, security/compliance, and cross-org execution from experimentation and pre-training through evaluation and production release.Previously at Microsoft, I led global infrastructure programs enabling scaled model training and next-generation GPU platforms. Today, I focus on building operating mechanisms, governance models, and delivery systems that allow research, platform, and security teams to move fast while maintaining reliability, compliance, and production rigor.
