Droidal LLC Appoints Jegan Karunakaran as Chief Technology

Droidal, a healthcare AI company focused on Revenue Cycle Management, today announced the appointment of Jegan Karunakaran as Chief Technology Officer. In this role, Karunakaran will lead Droidal's technology vision and engineering execution, with a focus on accelerating product innovation, strengthening platform scalability, and delivering deeper client outcomes.

Karunakaran brings more than 26 years of technology leadership experience across payments, healthcare, AI, machine learning, and large-scale enterprise platforms. He is recognized for building high-performing engineering organizations where accountability, execution, and customer impact are closely aligned.

"Healthcare revenue cycle is one of the most complex operational challenges facing providers today. Payer fragmentation, coding complexity, rising denial rates, legacy tech debt, and an ever-shifting regulatory landscape all pull attention away from what matters most: patient care. What excites me about Droidal is the opportunity to build a fully autonomous AI platform that cuts through that complexity, so providers can stop navigating administrative chaos and get back to the work of saving lives," said Jegan Karunakaran, CTO, Droidal.

Karunakaran most recently served as Head of Engineering at Venmo, where he led the core payments platform to $250B+ in annual transaction volume across 65M+ monthly active users. He has also held leadership roles at PayPal, eBay, Visa, and Kaiser Permanente.

Before his role at Venmo, Karunakaran served as Interim CTO of PayPal Giving Platform, where he architected systems processing $19.6B in annual donation volume across 40+ markets and 56M+ active donors.

He also led eBay's Applied ML team, building NLP models at scale, self-initiated eBay's internal Machine Learning Special Interest Group, and deployed production AI systems at Venmo and PayPal for personalization and intelligent recommendations.

"Jegan's appointment marks a significant milestone for Droidal as we accelerate into the next phase of growth. As we continue building the next generation of autonomous AI Agents for healthcare revenue cycle management, Jegan's leadership will play a critical role in scaling our technology vision, accelerating innovation, and strengthening our position as a category leader in healthcare AI," said Inger Sivanthi, CEO, Droidal.

With Karunakaran's appointment, Droidal continues to strengthen its leadership team as it advances autonomous AI Agents designed to help healthcare organizations reduce administrative burden, improve revenue cycle efficiency, and accelerate reimbursements.
