About Prashant Mahajan
Prashant Mahajan is Founder and CTO at privado.ai. Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States.
I started my career building high-scale systems in adtech. That experience taught me one thing. What companies think happens with data and what actually happens are often very different. Policies describe intent. Systems reveal reality. Over time, I saw the same problem again and again. Legal teams are accountable for privacy. Engineering teams control the data. The two rarely operate from the same source of truth. That gap creates regulatory exposure. I founded Privado to close that gap. Privado is a Privacy AI Agents company. We help legal teams understand, assess, and evidence what is happening with personal data across their organisation. Not from surveys. From real system signals. We built Wren, our AI Privacy Analyst. Wren supports lawyers with: - DPIAs, PIAs, and RoPAs that are grounded in technical evidence - Data maps that stay current as systems change - Risk discovery across products and vendors - Consent validation and audit readiness - Clear documentation you can stand behind The goal is simple. Give privacy leaders continuous visibility. Reduce blind spots. Create defensible records. Privacy should not rely on guesswork or engineering dependency. It should be provable. If you are leading privacy, compliance, or data governance and want stronger evidence behind your program, let’s connect.
