With deep expertise in agile methodologies, strategic execution, and complex system integrations, she has led high-impact initiatives such as the merger of US Airways and American Airlines and major financial technology upgrades. Known for streamlining operations and managing cross-functional teams, she excels in fast-paced environments and is now expanding her focus to AI-driven solutions. Currently pursuing a PhD in Public Administration with a specialization in AI, Prasanna is leveraging her strong technical foundation to explore innovative opportunities at the intersection of technology, public policy, and societal impact. THE SUMMARY AI for Fair Housing Policy: Prasanna is researching how LLMs can help eliminate bias and improve fairness in U.S. housing policy. She believes AI can simplify legal jargon, surface benefits people don’t know they qualify for, and make policies more accessible to those most in need. Tech That Serves the Underserved: Too often, low-income individuals are left behind by systems that are overly complex or under-resourced. Prasanna’s goal is to use AI to deliver personalised, accurate information to these communities—people who often don’t have legal or data expertise. Bridging Corporate Tech & Public Good: After years in IT and airline systems, Prasanna brings deep operational knowledge to a field dominated by theory. Her unique approach merges digital transformation with policy change—turning AI into a tool for civic impact, not just corporate profit. Learning AI the Right Way: Forget hype and shortcuts. Prasanna stresses the value of structured education and mentorship. Programs like AI Career Boost helped her go from curiosity to building AI systems—proving that with guidance and grit, anyone can enter the AI space with impact.

With over a decade of experience at the intersection of psychology and technology, she advises VCs, startups, and investment firms on AI-driven healthcare solutions, clinical governance, and go-to-market strategy.

Through her work with What If Ventures, VentureBlick, and global innovation initiatives, she is helping shape the future of emotionally intelligent, evidence-based care. THE SUMMARY Shallow Mental Health Apps Don’t Cut It: Calm and Headspace are great for general wellness, but Yisha argues they fail people facing real trauma and emotional pain. We need tech that actually heals, not just soothes. Software as Care, Not a Connector to Care: Yisha’s startup treats software itself as the intervention—delivering personalised, evidence-based learning journeys that reduce symptoms and empower users. AI That Responds in the Moment: Instead of AI chatbots or “companions,” MyndStrong Health uses AI to intelligently surface the right tool at the right time—especially in moments of distress. No AI Hype, Just Clinical Rigor: Forget flashy features. Yisha’s focus is safety, empathy, and real clinical outcomes. Healthcare tech should be built with integrity, not buzzwords. Want to Pivot to AI? Study First: Yisha didn’t guess her way into AI—she took a full MITxPro course. Her advice: be humble, stay curious, and actually learn the tech before you build with it.

Hands-on experimentation with tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Voiceflow helped her rapidly upskill and start building real-world solutions. AI for Real Problems, Not Just Big Tech: Kelly used AI to tackle wildfire preparedness in rural Oregon—creating an advisor tool that helps residents assess home risks and access grants. Her work proves AI can thrive outside Silicon Valley, especially when it's built for communities often left out of tech innovation. Start With the Problem, Not the Tool: Kelly stresses that effective AI products start with deep user understanding. Jumping into solution mode without discovery is a recipe for wasted effort. Instead, focus on the pain points—tech should come after the insights. Advice for New AI Builders: Don’t wait for permission—just dive in.

Prompt chaining is an engineering pattern that involves using multiple prompts to improve the performance and accuracy of language models. Developers are exploring prompt chaining and agentic AI to enhance the capabilities of language models. Prompt chaining involves feeding the output of one language model into the next prompt, while agentic AI refers to AI that figures out the steps itself.
