Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Prashanth Tondapu was born and raised in India, now living in New Delhi, the capital there. He claims to be a textbook nerd, loving technology and information. He reads a lot, primarily eastern philosophy and stuff on being enlightened, basically pointing him to skills in accepting reality. He's married with two girls, 9 and 4 years old, along with a Labrador and a German shepherd. He says that having 3 girls in the house means he has 3 supreme leaders.

Prashanth has worked for companies in the past focused on products - companies like McAffee and the Advisor Board Company. Outside of that, he started to build product after product, but no one wanted to buy his product. Eventually, he was tasked to advise a company in product delivery, which then changed everything.

This is the creation story of Innostax.

Protegrity is AI-powered data security for data consumption, offering fine grain data protection solutions, so you can enable your data security, compliance, sharing and analytics.

Episode Title: Navigating the Future of Data Management: Type Systems, Quantum Computing, and Protegrity's Innovations

In our final-FINAL episode, we are speaking with Ave Gatton, Director of Generative AI. We talk about how AI safety doesn't end with training, it begins with inference. We explore the overlooked frontier of AI security, from prompt-injection, data leakage, and model manipulation. Ave helps to understand how you can build guardrails that operate in real time, and adapt to evolving threats.

Questions

  • What are inference-time threats and why are they becoming a critical focus in AI security? 
  • How do inference-time risks differ from training-time risks? 
  • Why is inference-time protection critical for safe, scalable AI adoption? 
  • How do inference-time threats vary across industries? Is there any industry where these attacks are most prevalent? 
  • Why are traditional security models insufficient at inference? 
  • What is the impact of inference-time breaches on AI adoption? 
  • What role does compliance play in shaping inference-time guardrails?
  • What practical steps can organizations take to secure inference today? 
  • How can businesses balance performance with security when adding guardrails?

Marketplace All-in-One - Is the moon (and its resources) up for grabs?

NASA’s Artemis II mission, which will send humans around the moon for the first time in over five decades, could launch as early as March. This is part of a larger campaign to establish a long-term presence on the moon and eventually prepare for human space flight to Mars.


Meanwhile, China also has a goal of landing humans on the moon by 2030, setting up a kind of modern space race. One reason for the rush: It's like a game of finders keepers, said Saadia Pekkanen, a professor focused on space law and policy at the University of Washington.

60 Songs That Explain the '90s - Britney Spears – “Toxic”

Before he vows to leave her alone, Rob breaks down the cataclysmic career of a pop star who did it for the love of the game and the disgust of the fame. Britney Spears had the power to shift culture with a single VMAs performance, yet her music reflected a desperation to control her own personal life. Despite the public’s continuous mistreatment of Britney, she selflessly gifted us one of the most iconic bangers of our time: “Toxic.” Afterwards, Rob speaks with music journalist Jeff Weiss to talk about the unfinished evolution of Britney’s career, the difference in today’s celebrity culture, and creation of his book, ‘Waiting for Britney Spears,’ in the time of the Free Britney movement.


Host: Rob Harvilla

Guest: Jeff Weiss

Producers: Justin Sayle and Olivia Crerie
