Building for the
physical world.

This is Shantanu Prakash. I am an MS/MBA student at Stanford focused on physical AI, robotics, and the systems needed to bring intelligent machines into the real world.

I am drawn to humanity-scale problems: labor, energy, food, and physical systems that shape how we live. I am searching for the problem I want to dedicate my next decade to, and the people I want to solve it with.

Before Stanford, I studied instrumentation and control engineering, worked in strategy consulting at Bain, and helped take SUN Mobility's EV battery-swapping business into markets across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
