Indian-origin techie quits ‘dream job’ at Apple to launch AI startup with father: ‘We’re a complementary fit’

An Indian-origin techie has shared how he left what he once considered his “dream job” at Apple to co-found an artificial intelligence startup with his father. In conversation with Business Insider, Akshat Prakash, 27, the CTO of Camb.ai, an AI startup focused on speech and translation technology, said that the decision to leave Apple came from a long-standing desire to build something of his own.

The 27-year-old, born in a small village near New Delhi, moved from India to Ireland at a young age, before moving back to the country.
