Join the Waitlist →17 Years Building Startups
Over 17 years, I've built and scaled 5 companies as founder & CTO.
Co-founded Vamstar, scaling from zero to $1.2M ARR and raising $11M+ (Series A).
Served as CTO at AtruHelp, Billaway, and SuperSehat.
Advised engineering, product & growth at Oura Health, Precise.ly, and NthJen.
Spoken with hundreds of founders (100+ annually) — deep pattern recognition on what actually drives traction.
In 2024, I came back to hands-on building. That led to founding Seven Eidos and launching Vey Labs — our AI products studio. Today, Neo is the flagship: a voice-controlled computer interface built for teams who can't afford to slow down. DM me if you're a founder who wants to grow faster.

#60 Redefining AI Ethics | Current AI Blindspots | The A3 Model Explained | Vendan Kumararajah
Today's guest watched digital transformation projects fail for years. Not because the tech was broken — the governance was. The values had drifted. And nobody noticed until it was too late. So he did something unusual. He went back 2,000 years to Tamil philosophy — specifically a tradition called Saiva Siddhanta — and built a framework that treats ethics not as a compliance checkbox, but as the actual operating system. Vendan Kumararajah is a transformation architect, cybernetician, and the creator of something called the A3 Model. His new book "Navigating Complexity and System Challenges" makes a bold claim: that we can design AI systems that don't just follow ethical rules, but actually enact ethical intelligence in real time. So today we're going to unpack what the A3 Model actually is. And pressure-test it against real founder scenarios. Key Discussion Points: 🔥 You can't have a dynamic system with a static rule-based. 🤖 Static rules cannot evolve in a dynamic environment because there is distortion at every stage. 🚨 Distortion is when the journey starts for a system. 👥 Ethics, distortion, and agency as a self-regulating, self-evolving structure. 📊 The ethical coherence is a red line because it shows the harm limits. 💡 What looks like success may be actually a time bomb waiting to explode. 🚨 The A3 model starts warning every time, regardless of what the KPIs are showing.
