The Person

The person behind the title

Titles expire. What remains is what you do when nobody is asking for a deliverable.

Painting

In his free time, Venugopal paints — the same instinct for structure and composition, applied to canvas instead of architecture diagrams.

Writing

He writes regularly on Medium and Quora — about AI, technology, and occasionally the harder questions of life.

Music

His listening spans old country classics, ghazals, sufi, and old Hindi music — four traditions that have nothing in common except depth.

Curiosity

He is deeply curious about life in general, and spends real time with the history of ancient India — drawn to how much thinking was done well, long before computers.
