Venkat Thiruvengadam is CEO and founder of DuploCloud. Venkat was an early engineer at Microsoft Azure, the first developer and founding member in Azure’s networking team. He wrote significant parts of the Azure compute and network controller stack where he saw Azure grow from a hundred-odd servers to millions of nodes in just a few years. After leaving Microsoft, he realized that such hyperscale automation techniques have not made their way outside of companies like AWS, Microsoft and Google, which led him to form DuploCloud with a goal of bringing the hyperscale automation techniques to Main Street IT.
