Meet Uday Ruddaraju, who completed his https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn from CBIT Hyderabad, Telangana. NO IIT, NO NIT, NO top university... yet today, this Indian Guy is the CTO of @OpenAI ๐ฅ
He graduated from CBIT in 2011 and landed an internship at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he gained valuable exposure to cloud infrastructure.
He later moved to the US to pursue a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota.
From 2013 to 2018, he worked at eBay, helping modernize its cloud infrastructure, drive Kubernetes adoption, and scale engineering systems.
In 2018, he joined Robinhood, where he led the infrastructure organization as the platform grew from 1 million to 24 million users, ensuring reliability at massive scale.
In 2024, he became Head of Infrastructure Engineering at xAI, leading compute, networking, storage, research infrastructure, and data centers. His team built Colossus and trained Grok 3 on a cluster of over 100,000 GPUs.
In 2025, he joined OpenAI to lead Compute Infrastructure. Just 2 days ago, he was promoted to CTO of @OpenAI .
Where you study matters far less than the what you become exceptionally good at.

It's sad to see how much we are hurting the USA in future competitiveness and talent! Most people don't realize how much of tech innovation and hence GDP growth comes from foreign talent in the USA. Innovation and GDP growth is sure to decline.
@AttyStevenBrown@USCIS Need to increase the h1b cap to 300k-500k per year or may be a million per year for next 5 years atleast .. America is losing the talent to other countries ..
So many jobs to fill with not much skilled labor available ..
This should be big news for mainstream media.
A Norwegian jurnalist @HelleLyngSvends tried to create a false narrative about press freedom in India by asking a question in a press briefing. It was not a press conference.
She works for the Dagsavisen newspaper.
Now, here come the most interesting details.
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das participated in meetings held by WEXFO in Norway, and the theme was 'Year of Resistance'
Surprisingly, Mads Nygaard is the chair of WEXFO, and he was a CEO and VP of Dagsavisen.
This is a classic case of creating a false narrative with the help of an international ecosystem.
