Krupa Suchak

Speaker Bio

Krupa Suchak is the Founder and CEO of DataSpires, Africa's first neutral GPU compute marketplace. DataSpires builds the orchestration layer that turns fragmented African infrastructure — including telco-owned compute and data centre assets — into a unified, developer-accessible platform. For telcos investing in AI infrastructure, DataSpires is how that investment reaches the builders who need it.

Before founding DataSpires, Krupa spent years embedded in Africa's AI ecosystem through Deep Learning Indaba, where she saw firsthand how infrastructure bottlenecks were slowing down the continent's most promising AI work. That experience shaped the company's approach: don't build in parallel to existing infrastructure, make it usable.

DataSpires' AfriLink SDK is live on PyPI and in active use by developers and researchers across Africa. The company works with telecom operators, sovereign compute providers, and institutional partners.

Krupa holds degrees from MIT and Georgia Tech, and is based in London.
