Pavan Murthy Tallapragada

In Memoriam 

It is with a heavy heart that we share the deeply saddening news of the passing of Pavan Murthy Tallapragada (PGPM 2009-11). An exceptional leader, Pavan carried the MDI legacy across the technology, risk, and governance landscape. Transitioning MDI, he built a distinguished career spanning over 15 years, advancing to hold key leadership positions at Wells Fargo-serving as Control Management Senior Manager (Executive Director) and Vice President-as well as entrepreneurial leadership as Founder of Valerian Risk Solutions and Chief Product Officer at DRiskify, before ultimately serving as Senior Manager at Deloitte.  

His career trajectory stands as a true testament to the ManDevIan spirit. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Pavan will be remembered as an inspiring peer whose humility, willingness to help others, and steady guidance left a lasting impression on all who knew him. 

The entire MDI family extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.  

May his soul rest in peace
