Sruthi Viswanathan is the Founder of Deep Interactions (YC P26), a humans-in-the-loop AI builder that keeps product logic, team decisions, and AI workflows in sync so teams ship useful products faster. She is also a DPhil candidate in Computer Science at the University of Oxford, specialising in Human-Centred AI.

Sruthi holds a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from Universite Paris Saclay (2016) and a Bachelor's in Computer Science from Amity University (2015). She built her career across Google, Naver Labs Europe, and Limbic AI before founding Deep Interactions.

Recognised by 100 Women in AI (2025), Sruthi brings a rare blend of academic rigour and industry depth spanning software engineering, UX, ML, and AI research. She founded Deep Interactions after repeatedly watching brilliant teams ship broken AI due to a lack of shared context.

Prior to Deep Interactions, Sruthi served as a UX Researcher at Google in India (2017-2018), a UX Research Scientist at Naver Labs Europe in France (2018-2022), and a Researcher at Limbic AI (2022-2024), co-authoring peer-reviewed work on AI-enabled mental health tools deployed in the UK NHS. She also co-founded The Spaceship Academy as CTO.

Deep Interactions is live with 12 businesses and has recorded 50k+ real-world usage hits, saving clients months of work and millions in AI spend. The platform integrates natively with tools like Slack, Figma, GitHub, and Vercel, enabling teams to ship a working AI product the same afternoon they bring a problem.
