Vectara

Vectara was founded by former Googlers Amr Awadallah, CEO, Amin Ahmad, CTO, and Tallat Shafaat, Chief Architect.

Amin Ahmad built LLMs as a leader of the Google Research Team and Tallat Shafaat was a core member of the Google Knowledge Graph Indexing Team, designing and implementing systems that processed petabytes of data and serviced up to 200,000 queries per second.

Amr Awadallah founded Aptiva and Cloudera, putting big data on the map, and served as an executive for Yahoo and Google.

After working together at Google, they decided to found Vectara, an end-to-end platform for embedding powerful generative AI features into applications with extraordinary results.
