Background

About Prashant Raizada

I’m a 4x founder, a father of two, and someone who’s spent my career building at the intersection of talent, technology, and real-world impact. My journey has included being part of building a unicorn and building businesses in Asia, LATAM and the UK. I started my career at Citibank and also worked at McKinsey - experiences that shaped how I think about scaling ideas and solving meaningful problems.I am also a practicing monk, which has fundamentally re-shaped my life over the last decade. Integrity, authenticity and a service mentality, sit at the heart of everything, which is proving invaluable as I build my latest venture. Lumi. It is focused on solving how organisations hire and develop people to help them thrive in an AI-shaped world.At Lumi we have developed an authentic, data-driven platform to help organisations move beyond traditional hiring and development approaches. Through project-based learning and real-time skills feedback, we enable institutions to better understand how people actually perform,especially when it comes to human–AI collaboration and the durable skills that matter most. Lumi is the first platform to be accredited by Techskills, an employer-led body in the UK.We partner with forward-thinking organisations to improve early careers hiring, build practical AI capability across teams, and gain clearer visibility into workforce strengths, gaps, and readiness. Ultimately, our goal is to create a stronger, more meaningful link between assessment, development, and performance.I’m particularly interested in working with leaders who are rethinking how talent is identified, developed, and supported, because the way we define “potential” is changing fast.
