MEET THE TEAM

Built from the
real world up.

The people behind PatternLab

PatternLab started with a simple observation:

Enterprise AI is becoming incredibly capable.
But enterprises are still messy.

Processes live in SOPs. Data lives across systems. Decisions depend on relationships, rules and operational context that AI does not automatically understand.

Our team came to this problem from different directions — manufacturing, industrial engineering, software, integrations and AI — but kept seeing the same gap.

PatternLab is what we are building to close it.

Manufacturing experience.
Process thinking.
Software architecture.
AI engineering.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND PATTERNLAB

Experience, brought together.

Anoop Vootkuri
FOUNDER

Anoop Vootkuri

Founder & CEO

An industrial engineer and repeat founder, Anoop brings experience across manufacturing, industrial data and software. He leads PatternLab’s product vision, customer discovery and strategy, grounding enterprise AI in the operational reality of the businesses it serves.

Anoop is an industrial engineer and repeat founder who has spent much of the last decade working at the intersection of manufacturing, industrial data and software.

Alongside building technology companies, he has been closely involved in a battery manufacturing business, giving him direct exposure to how factories actually operate — from production constraints and process variability to the everyday reality of disconnected systems, spreadsheets and human coordination.

He also built two startups in the industrial IoT and data space, working on the problem of connecting machines, capturing operational data and making that data useful to manufacturing teams.

Across those experiences, one pattern kept repeating: the business context connecting the data, systems and SOPs was missing.

What first looked like an industrial data problem eventually became an AI problem.

AI models are increasingly capable of reasoning, but they still do not inherently understand how a specific enterprise works — what its objects mean, how its processes connect, which rules matter, and what changes when something goes wrong.

PatternLab grew out of that insight.

Anoop leads the company’s product vision, customer discovery and strategy, with a focus on building enterprise AI from the operational reality of businesses rather than from the technology layer down.

Karthik Kalluri
OPERATIONS

Karthik Kalluri

Co-founder & COO

An industrial engineer from Penn State with experience in process management, Karthik leads operations and execution at PatternLab. He translates complex customer environments into repeatable deployments and scalable operating systems that enterprises can adopt and depend on.

Karthik studied Industrial Engineering at Penn State, a university with deep roots in the discipline.

He later worked as a process manager at a multinational company, where he experienced firsthand how large organizations actually operate — through systems, workflows, handoffs and constant coordination between teams.

That experience exposed the gap between how processes are designed and how work happens in reality.

At PatternLab, Karthik leads operations and execution, translating complex customer environments into repeatable deployments and scalable operating systems. His focus is making sure PatternLab is not only powerful technology, but something enterprises can actually adopt and depend on.

Jaisurya Palle
ENGINEERING

Jaisurya Palle

Co-founder & CTO

Jaisurya studied Computer Science at Arizona State University and leads PatternLab’s platform architecture and engineering. His work connects business objects, relationships, rules, processes and live data into structured context, helping machines understand the complexity of enterprise environments.

Jaisurya studied Computer Science at Arizona State University and has always had a deep interest in computers, software and building things from first principles.

At PatternLab, he leads the architecture and engineering of the platform.

His work focuses on turning complex enterprise environments into systems machines can understand — connecting business objects, relationships, rules, processes and live data into structured context.

How do you make enterprise complexity computable?

That question sits at the center of the technology Jaisurya and the engineering team are building.

Nithin Marla
AI

Nithin Marla

Chief AI Engineer

With a Master’s in Computer Science from Arizona State University and experience in SAP integrations, Nithin builds PatternLab’s AI systems. His focus spans context compilation, agentic mapping and reasoning, grounding AI in how a business actually operates.

Nithin holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Arizona State University.

Before PatternLab, he worked on SAP integrations, giving him direct exposure to one of the hardest parts of enterprise technology: getting fragmented systems, schemas and data to actually work together.

He saw firsthand how much time and effort goes into integrations, mappings and maintaining context between systems — often before any intelligence can even be applied.

At PatternLab, Nithin works on the AI systems designed to automate that last-mile work. His focus spans context compilation, agentic mapping, reasoning and grounding AI in the way a business actually operates.

The goal is to make enterprise AI useful without requiring teams to manually reconstruct their business context every time they build a new application or agent.

THE INSIGHT THAT STARTED IT

The missing connection.

The data was available. The systems existed. The SOPs existed. But the business context connecting them together did not.

BEYOND THE JOB TITLES

Different backgrounds.
Same instinct.

We are industrial engineers, operators, software builders and AI engineers.

But we share a few things beyond work. We are competitive about sports. We spend too much time gaming. We like questioning why things are done a certain way. And we would rather build something that works in the real world than something that only looks good in a demo.

That mindset shapes PatternLab.

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING

The context infrastructure that helps AI
understand the business underneath it.

Because intelligence is only useful when it understands
the world it is operating in.
