Sravan Kumar Nidiganti

Sravan Kumar Nidiganti

I help healthcare organizations turn complex regulatory requirements, operational risks, and technology changes into reliable quality outcomes.

With 23+ years of experience, I am a healthcare quality and operations leader specializing in enterprise quality management, PBM operations, Medicare, Medicaid, regulatory compliance, transformation, and operational excellence.
At CVS Health, I lead quality strategy and execution across Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial platforms. My work brings together business, clinical, technology, compliance, and operations teams to strengthen controls, improve delivery performance, reduce risk, and protect member and client outcomes.

My experience includes:
• Enterprise quality strategy and governance
• CMS-regulated Medicare Part D and Medicaid operations
• Regulatory readiness, audit support, and requirements traceability
• Risk-based testing and quality-control design
• Root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions
• Defect prevention, first-pass yield, and process improvement
• Healthcare implementations and cross-functional transformation
• Automation, analytics, data quality, and AI governance
• Team development and onshore/offshore delivery leadership

I have led large-scale quality programs, teams, strengthened operational controls, improved automation and delivery performance, and built scalable approaches for managing quality across complex healthcare environments.

My leadership philosophy is simple: compliance should not be treated as a final checkpoint, it should be embedded into processes, technology, data, and decision-making from the beginning.

I am particularly interested in the responsible use of AI and analytics in healthcare. My focus includes data integrity, privacy, transparency, validation, human oversight, regulatory alignment, and ensuring that innovation improves and not compromises quality and member safety.

As a doctoral candidate in Healthcare Administration, published author and researcher, speaker, peer reviewer, and healthcare innovation judge, I bring a scholar-practitioner perspective that connects evidence, leadership, and real-world execution.

I welcome conversations about:
Healthcare Quality | Enterprise Operations | Regulatory Compliance | PBM | Medicare & Medicaid | Operational Excellence | Transformation | Risk Management | AI Governance

Pranav Gujarathi

Pranav Gujarathi

I'm a Generative AI & ML Engineer based in Austin, TX — and I genuinely believe we're living through the most exciting moment in the history of computing. I've spent the last 8+ years turning that belief into production systems that actually move needles.
Right now, I work as a **Senior AI Engineer at [Twin Health](https://www.twinhealth.com/)**, where I architect multi-agent AI platforms for personalized digital health. The work hits close to home in the most literal sense: the AI systems I build — ones that ingest real-time wearable data, interpret lab results, and deliver hyper-personalized diet and nutrition guidance — have contributed to a **37% Type 2 diabetes reversal rate** across our patient population. That's not a dashboard metric. That's people reclaiming their health.
Before Twin Health, I spent over a year at **Cigna Health** building Generative AI into the Prior Authorization process — a notoriously slow, paper-heavy corner of healthcare that desperately needed agentic intelligence. And before that, I spent two years at **Walmart Global Tech**, where I built a voice/text-driven AI tool that saved **130,000 associate work hours every single week**, and a RAG-based system that cut attribute-extraction costs by **80%** with **24× faster turnaround**. Large-scale impact is something I've come to expect from this work.

My path here wasn't strictly linear. I started as an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at **IIT Roorkee**, pivoted into data science at **Indiana University – Bloomington** (where I earned a Master's and the Luddy Outstanding Research Award), and along the way published research at **NeurIPS** (Best Paper) and **ACM COMPASS**. More recently, I completed an **MBA in Entrepreneurship** from University of the Cumberlands — because building great AI isn't just an engineering challenge, it's a product and people challenge too.

I'm a Senior Software Architect working on agentic AI systems in healthcare diagnostics. Most of my time is spent figuring out how to make large language models play nice with enterprise security requirements—especially when those models need to access patient data across chat, voice, and SMS channels.

Before diving into AI, I built developer experience tools and led engineering teams where I learned that the hard problems are rarely about the technology itself. They're about making complex systems work reliably when real people depend on them.

I've been deep in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) world lately, building servers that let AI agents interact securely with backend systems. That work surfaced a lot of messy authentication challenges that don't have clean answers in the OAuth specs. My talk comes from those real-world battle scars.
