SHEKHAR
Natarajan

As Founder & CEO of Orchestro.AI, I'm driving the transformation of global logistics through pioneering AI solutions.

My career, marked by leading operational overhauls at Fortune 500 giants like Target, Walmart, and Disney, has strengthened my belief in tech's power to revolutionize supply chains.

Today, I focus on a singular mission: building Vertical AI specifically to optimize and elevate every facet of the supply chain.

Angelic

Intelligence

Angelic Intelligence is the world's first virtue-based reasoning and intelligence layer built for AI systems. It doesn't just process what an AI decides. It evaluates whether that decision accounts for human impact, fairness, and unintended consequences before execution.
