Led by the people who do the work.
Data Prophets was founded in 2019 by two data scientists who still practise. They have 9 and 10 years in the field, built an AI product of their own and grew it to enterprise use, and stay hands-on in client engagements.
The founders
Akshay Dodhiwala
Co-founder & CEO
A practising data scientist who leads client work and advises companies on building their own AI and engineering centres. Akshay takes every first call with a new client.
- Capability centres and build-operate-transfer
- Automation and data strategy
- Client engagements
Ketan Nandani
Co-founder & CTO
A practising data scientist who leads technology and delivery, from language and generative AI systems to the day-to-day running of capability centres.
- NLP, generative AI and RAG systems
- Delivery and project management
- Running capability centres
Operators, not only advisers
The founders built and scaled their own AI product before advising anyone else, so recommendations come from having carried a launch date and a team.
A founder on every first call
You speak to someone who can judge the problem technically and commercially, and who will tell you if we are not the right fit.
Hands-on through delivery
The same people who scope the work stay close to it, alongside the engineers who build it, through to handover.
