The product

What Parallel Loop is building

Parallel Loop sells itself as an "AI operating partner" for mid-market and large enterprises, and the offering is deliberately half software, half people. AI Enablement finds the opportunities worth pursuing and builds the roadmap. The AI Stack is a governed, modular layer that connects to a company's systems and organizational context and powers dashboards and deterministic workflows. The Software Factory pairs forward-deployed engineers with AI agents to modernize legacy systems and ship new applications inside the client. The stack is built for the buyer who has been told no by their security team. It deploys in the customer's cloud or on-prem with customer-set data residency, supports multiple model providers including open-weight models, offers tenant isolation and zero data retention, and keeps an audit trail of prompts, responses, context changes and actions. Customers own their data, context and the client-specific apps built for them. Prateek Jogani's thesis: "Intelligence has become abundant. What many organisations lack is the context, systems and capability" to use it. Clients so far include Licious, Havells India, Scimplify and Tokio Marine Safety Insurance Thailand. At Havells, several hundred employees use the platform for workflows, automations and dashboards, including sales teams working with channel partners.

The money

Why this matters

Frontier models are now a commodity input; the bottleneck in a 10,000-person Indian manufacturer or a Thai insurer is wiring them into ERPs, CRMs and tribal knowledge without breaking compliance. The forward-deployed engineer model that Palantir made famous and that US AI labs have since copied is mostly priced for Fortune 500 budgets. Parallel Loop is betting the same motion works for the mid-market in Asia and the Gulf, where demand is high, internal AI teams are thin, and data residency rules are getting stricter. The founders' last company is the proof point. They ran insurance distribution at scale across five Southeast Asian markets, which is exactly the kind of legacy-system, regulated environment their customers live in.

The outlook

Hiring outlook

The team page runs an open 'Join us' application form and a [email protected] inbox, and the round funds expansion into Europe and the Middle East. The business model scales with forward-deployed engineers, so headcount tracks revenue. No specific roles are posted.

Hiring intensity5/8

Working at Parallel Loop

Parallel Loop: AI operating partner: governed AI stack plus forward-deployed engineers. The team is <50 people today. Working at a AI company at this stage means broad remit, direct access to founders, and equity that still means something if the company works out.

Singapore is where most Parallel Loop positions are located.

How to actually get hired at Parallel Loop

Why applying the normal way doesn't work

At <50 people, Parallel Loop has no recruiting team. Your application lands with a founder who is also running sales, product and payroll. The obstacle isn't a queue or an ATS, it's being seen at all. Cold outreach outperforms the form here, consistently.

Founding team

PJ
Prateek Jogani
Co-Founder

Prateek studied electronics and communications at Delhi College of Engineering. He co-founded Thai insurtech FairDee with Yujun Chean, and after FairDee was acquired by Qoala he served as Qoala's Group CTO, helping scale it across five countries. He co-founded Parallel Loop in June 2026 and is based in San Francisco.

YC
Yujun Chean
Co-Founder

Yujun is a National University of Singapore graduate who started out on an NUS Overseas Colleges internship at eGrabber in Silicon Valley. He founded FairDee in Thailand, merged it with Qoala in 2021, and became Qoala's Group COO and a board member, running the Thailand business over a nine-year chapter. He co-founded Parallel Loop in Singapore in 2026.

What to show them

Build a small 'context layer' demo: connect a mock ERP (Postgres with orders, dealers, inventory) and a folder of SOP PDFs to an open-weight model running locally, expose two deterministic workflows (e.g. 'dealer credit check', 'stock-out alert') with a full audit log of prompt, context and action. Deploy it so the whole thing runs in a single VPC with no external calls.

A cold email that works at Parallel Loop

Subject: Forward-Deployed Engineer (Bengaluru / Singapore), [your one-line proof]
Hi Prateek, Parallel Loop's bet is that the gap is context and systems, not intelligence. I built a version of that for a channel-sales use case like Havells': a mock dealer ERP plus SOP PDFs, an open-weight model running in one VPC, two deterministic workflows, and an audit log of every prompt and action. Demo and repo attached. I'd like to do this for real clients.

What Parallel Loop screens for

3one4 anchoring with Picus and Flourish (both fintech-heavy) plus Kunal Shah and Vijay Shekhar Sharma as angels is an India-and-Southeast-Asia operator network: those angels are customers' peers. Philip Yeo, former chair of Singapore's EDB and A*STAR, plus Economic Development Innovations Singapore, point to a Singapore-anchored government and enterprise channel. Four months from founding to 30 people and 10+ clients means they hire fast and through the inbound form. Early FDEs here will define the playbook the company sells.

Avoid

Don't make these mistakes

Pitching yourself as a prompt engineer or a model-research person. Prateek was Group CTO and Yujun Group COO at Qoala, scaling insurance across five markets after Qoala merged with their first company, FairDee; they think in integrations, ops and unit economics. 'I love GenAI' is noise. Show you can get a legacy system to talk to a model safely inside a client's walls.

Mistakes that kill Parallel Loop applications

  • A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Parallel Loop (<50 people). They notice.

  • Don't open with what you want. Open with what Parallel Loop is dealing with right now — Frontier models are now a commodity input; the bottleneck in a 10,000-person Indian manufacturer or a Thai insurer is wiring them into ERPs, CRMs and tribal knowledge without breaking compliance, and what you'd do about it.

  • Most AI applications get ghosted. A day-five follow-up can double your response rate.
