Co-Founder & CEO
Authentive
Anand Prakash is Co-Founder and CEO of Authentive, where he is building AI agents that carry a mortgage file from application to underwriting-ready — and retire the stack of point solutions lenders assembled to do the same job.
He spent more than fifteen years at Microsoft, most recently as Principal Group Engineering Manager for Microsoft Teams, where he led the channel experiences used by over 270 million monthly active users and built the engineering teams behind them across two continents.
He founded Authentive in 2023 with José Chiarino on a simple conviction: if documents are collected directly from the systems that issued them, the borrower can be trusted from the first click — and the industry of chasing, re-requesting, and re-verifying paper stops being necessary.
