Founders

### Who leads Sidekick Machines.

Bios in their own words, with photos.

- #### Hari Lakku

  Founder & CTO

  I’ve spent 15 years in the enterprise technology trenches and three years deep in agentic AI research. I’ve watched generative AI go from party tricks to digital AI co-workers, and built those digital AI co-workers myself. I started Sidekick Machines because good technology should unlock business potential and give people room to do their best work. Offline, I’m outside: Canadian winter is my favourite season, and mountain trails are my reset button.

- #### Sai Gandhi

  Co-Founder & Head of Engineering

  I run AI engineering at Sidekick Machines, which mostly means asking “what happens when this breaks at 2 a.m.?” before anyone else does. 15 years in technology, the last two following AI agents up close, and a firm belief that dependable beats flashy.
