SPEAKERS

Ram Kumar
Ram is a core contributor at OpenLedger, an AI Blockchain where data contributors, model builders, and application developers are finally recognized and rewarded for the value they create. With extensive experience handling multi-billion-dollar enterprise accounts, Ram has successfully worked with global giants such as Walmart, Sony, GSK, and the LA Times. His strategic insight and operational excellence play a key role in driving OpenLedger’s growth as a decentralized trust network for AI models. Ram is pioneering a radically different future for AI through Payable AI, a model where attribution is built in, data contributors are rewarded, and models function not as black boxes, but as transparent economic agents operating on-chain. Ram believes the future of AI shouldn't look like the past of Big Tech, centralized, extractive, and unaccountable. Instead, OpenLedger is building the infrastructure for a circular economy of intelligence, where models are co-built by communities, run on-chain, and designed to send micro-payments back to the original contributors every time they’re used.
