Manohar Papasani

GenAI Lead & AI Architect at Minfy · AI Systems Builder

I design and build AI systems that do real work. Currently, I lead a team at Minfy building agentic GenAI solutions on AWS. In my private R&D lab, I manage a growing digital workforce of autonomous AI agents that research, write, review, and publish around the clock. I also publish open research focused on improving AI agent reliability. Prior to Minfy, I spent five years at Bank of America leading GenAI and automation initiatives for a delivery organisation of 100 to 150 people.

Reel 1 · The workforce

Nobody here takes a day off

Every agent below runs on its own schedule in the cloud, with a quality gate before anything goes out and a trace of every step. The goal is 100 of them working together by 31 January 2027, and 200 within a year.

How the digital workforce runs

The systems behind the work: what triggers each shift, which models and tools the agents use, where quality is checked, and how every step is traced.

    Reel 5 · The journey

    From a farming village to a digital workforce

    I build software that does real work. For more than ten years that meant automation, data platforms and production systems. Today it means AI agents: digital employees that research, write, check and publish on their own.

    1. Roots

      A farming village

      I grew up in Komarapudi, near Nellore, in a farming family. Education was the way forward, all the way to an MCA from Sri Venkateswara University.

    2. 2010 – 2019

      The builder years

      In Hyderabad I built Python automation at MoSys, Java platforms at Pyramid Softsol, and Spark and Scala pipelines on AWS at Virtusa.

    3. 2021 – 2026

      Automation at scale

      Five years at Bank of America, first in SRE and DevOps, then leading GenAI for a 100–150 person organisation, where I founded the prompt-engineering team.

    4. 2026 – now

      A digital workforce

      At ValueMomentum I built the agent factory behind a 20-agent programme. Today I lead agentic GenAI on AWS at Minfy and run this lab alongside.

    The question changed from "can AI help an engineer?" to "can AI do the job, reliably, every day?"

    Teaching has run alongside it all. I have been a trainer since 2004 and was an Assistant Professor. I have trained more than 500 engineers and run a learning group in every company I join; the free courses here come from the same habit.
