Pradyumna S. Upadrashta, Ph.D.

Founder, Principal and Operator

​

An experienced award-winning operator and data science practitioner. He pioneered the Data-science-led model, or Data-first at an operational level, which creates tremendous value for partners and shareholders.

​​

Prior to MRH, he built and ran a global data practice for a multi-billion dollar family office and pioneered a Data-first enterprise data mesh architecture spanning geographies and jurisdictions for heavily regulated industries. He coined the term 'data engineering' in 2010 to describe a resampling technique for constructing a synthetic (surrogate) data set with specific statistical properties that led to a revenue management solution generating nearly 1B+ in EBIT yield. MRH is a vehicle for investing his own capital into interesting ideas.
