About this episode
Kesava Dinakaran is the CEO and Co-Founder of Luminai, an AI platform that moves manual administrative work at large health systems over to agents. Luminai has raised $60M to date and works with health systems including Cleveland Clinic.
Kesava spent seven years of his childhood solving Rubik's Cubes eight hours a day, broke the world record for most cubes solved in one hour, then cycled from Turkey to China having never ridden a bike before. He skipped college entirely. In this episode of DGTL Voices, he tells Ed how a family health event in 2023 turned a general interest in automation into a specific obsession with healthcare, why he thinks the point solution era created more admin work than it removed, and what happens when a health system stops treating its fax volume as somebody's full-time job.
He also makes a case most CEOs would not make out loud: that vulnerability is an operating requirement, not a personality trait.
