About

Founder-led, hands-on, accountable

Digital Shepherds was founded by Naveen Richard Jeyaprakash to bring together two things clients often find hard to get in one place: credible AI expertise and the engineering leadership to deliver it.

When you work with us, you work directly with the founder. We keep engagements focused, honest about what AI can and cannot do, and grounded in the realities of telecom and software delivery.
