About

We exist to empower ambitious,
growing companies with AI systems
to compete at the frontier —
and win.

LumaCogent AI was built around a specific conviction: that the gap between AI experimentation and real competitive advantage is closeable — for every ambitious company willing to build the right way. We combine the strategic rigor, engineering depth, and human-centered design to make that happen. Not as a one-time project. As an embedded innovation partner.

How We're Built

Depth on demand.
The right expertise,
assembled around your problem.

Every LumaCogent engagement is staffed as a focused pod — a small, cross-functional team with comprehensive capabilities built in from the start. Product management, strategy, design, and technology working together in one room, around one problem, toward one outcome.

Senior practitioners, not generalists

Our team is built from people who have done this before — at companies like Amazon, where production-grade AI is the standard, not the aspiration.

Cross-functional by design

Strategy, technology, and human-centered design working in concert — built into every engagement from day one.

Engineering depth at scale

Behind every engagement is a bench of senior engineers with experience across large-scale AI systems — giving us the capacity to move fast, staff engagements properly, and deliver production-grade work without compromising quality.

Work With Us

We're building something
worth being part of.

LumaCogent AI is a small, senior, and intentionally built team. We take on work that matters — problems with real stakes, clients willing to do it right, and engagements where the outcome shows up in the P&L. If that's the kind of work you're looking for, we'd like to hear from you.

What we look for

We work with builders who are hungry to learn, who can think in systems, and who are passionate about the pursuit of excellence at their craft. People who find meaning in work that reaches production — and holds up once it gets there.

What the work looks like

Every engagement is different. You might be leading AI strategy for a PE-backed portfolio company, building an ML pipeline for an e-commerce brand, or designing the human-centered adoption layer that determines whether a system actually gets used. The work is technical, strategic, and organizational — often at the same time.

Interested in joining?

We're always looking for experienced practitioners across AI strategy, machine learning engineering, data science, and technology product management. If you've built production AI systems and want to do meaningful work with a company that has standards, get in touch.

The Team

The people behind
every engagement.

LumaCogent AI's team is comprised of professionals who bring domain expertise across AI strategy, machine learning, and technology product management. Together, we cover the full stack of what production-grade AI transformation requires.

Founder

Raveesh Budania

Founder

Raveesh built e-commerce and supply chain systems at Amazon and Maersk — not as an advisor observing from the outside, but as a product leader accountable for the outcomes.

At Dell, he led Edge AI innovation and served as a strategic advisor to the Office of the CTO — bridging user-centered design, technology, and 0 to 1 product management at the frontier of applied AI.

He has also been a founder. That experience — building from zero, earning trust with no brand behind you, making decisions without a safety net — shaped LumaCogent AI's engagement model. Start small. Prove value fast. Earn the right to go deeper.

Raveesh holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering.

Advisors

Atul B.

Advisor, AI Strategy & Transformation

Atul has more than 15 years of experience across enterprises and AI startups, including HP and Accenture. At his most recent AI startup, he led enterprise AI transformation engagements — giving him firsthand experience of what it takes to move organizations from pilot to production. Atul holds an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Rohit D.

Advisor, Machine Learning & AI Engineering

Rohit is an AI and data science leader with end-to-end experience building and deploying enterprise ML solutions at scale. He leads a Machine Learning Center of Excellence and holds deep expertise across ML modeling, MLOps, data engineering, and agentic AI — including pioneering multi-agent workflows using LLM frameworks that go beyond the reach of traditional automation.

Mohit M.

Advisor, Technology Product Management

Mohit has more than 10 years of technology experience across Amazon e-commerce, JP Morgan, Maersk, and British Petroleum — with direct experience building the kind of systems LumaCogent's clients are working to replicate. His background spans e-commerce, financial services, and energy, giving him cross-industry depth that informs how AI gets built and adopted across different operational contexts.
